Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has given his opinion on the team’s UEFA Europa League second leg 5-4 win against Lyon on Thursday.

Man United produced a miraculous Europa League win against Lyon at Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim’s side looked set for an embarrassing Europa League exit after throwing away a 2-0 first half lead to trail 10-men Lyon 4-2 during the encounter.


But three goals in the final seven minutes of extra-time ensured the Premier League club qualify for the semi-finals on a 7-6 aggregate win.

The win over Lyon means Man United will now face Athletic Club in the semi-final next month.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Ferdinand said: “I have never seen anything like that as a spectator.

“It was an amazing thing. We saw so many fans leaving when it was 4-2 and you thought that was over.

“I said on commentary it would take more than a miracle to get back into it and now I’m actually a believer because that was outrageous.”
