'It's a really hard skill to master': Rio Ferdinand defends Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka after Roy Keane's criticism over his 'lack of awareness' for Eddie Nketiah's first goal in their defeat to Arsenal

Rio Ferdinand has defended Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka following criticism from Roy Keane over his 'lack of awareness' in their 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

Eddie Nketiah notched a brace to add to Bukayo Saka's solo effort for the Gunners to keep them clear at the top of the Premier League table - despite goals from United's Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez.

Nketiah brushed past Wan-Bissaka at the far post to nod home in the 24th minute for Arsenal's first goal - which led to intense criticism from former United midfielder Keane.
