Rio Ferdinand has handed a number of Manchester United players praise for their performances against Barcelona on Thursday, including goal-scorers Fred and Antony.
Strikes from the Brazilian duo saw United overturn a 1-0 half-time deficit to see the club progress through to the Europa League last-16 with a 4-3 aggregate scoreline. The Reds will face Real Betis in the next round with United still in all four competitions this season.
After Sunday’s League Cup final against Newcastle, Erik ten Hag’s side face West Ham in the FA Cup before starting March with a trip to Liverpool in the Premier League. After watching his former club defeat Barcelona at Old Trafford, Ferdinand said he is “feeling something” about the team and praised five players for their work.
