Rio Ferdinand criticised Manchester United and Bruno Fernandes despite the Red Devils’ fightback against Champions League rivals Atletico Madrid.

Anthony Elanga scored a late equaliser as Ralf Rangnick’s side drew 1-1 with Atletico in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

‘Look, Man United would have taken that result before the game,’ Ferdinand said on BT Sport. ‘But they were lucky tonight.

‘They were poor in the way they played, the first half was really poor.

‘But when you talk about football at this level you often ask, “can you weather the storm and stay in the game?”

‘For as bad as United played, David de Gea didn’t have much to do. You wanted  a better performance but they’ve got a result.

‘Elanga pops up at the end there with a goal and Bruno gets his assist, as bad as he played up until that point.

‘Overall, United will be getting on that plane home tonight thinking they’re well in it. There’s some positives to take.’
