Rio Ferdinand claims Dayot Upamecano has 'gone BACKWARDS' as Manchester United legend launches scathing review of Bayern Munich-bound defender after RB Leipzig crashed out of the Champions League following defeat to Liverpool

Rio Ferdinand has claimed Dayot Upamecano has 'gone backwards' in a scathing review of the Bayern Munich-bound defender's performance against Liverpool in the Champions League.

Upamecano, 22, will leave RB Leipzig for Bundesliga champions Bayern at the end of the season, with the all-conquering Germans beating a host of European rivals to the signing of the £38.5m defender.

However, despite Liverpool's attackers being short of form, the Frenchman was unable to keep Mo Salah and Co at bay over two legs, with the Reds getting back on track with an excellent 4-0 aggregate win over Julian Nagelsmann's side.
