Ferdinand took to X after the game and praised the Red Devils.
He wrote, “That’s what I want to see from @ManUtd. They have shown what’s in them when they show spirit, desire, effort and some quality in possession.
“These players have set the standard that needs to be maintained now…the players will feel that performance and know the standard.
“Now they have to govern that changing room and put demands on each other every day in training and every match day.
“There will be a satisfied (maybe some feel could have had more) feeling on that coach home. Remember what it took to create that feeling. Keep building confidence & understanding day by day.”
