Rio Ferdinand singles out £60m Man United star for praise as club legend hails 'sensational' performance in 3-0 Europa League victory

Rio Ferdinand was effusive in his praise of Manchester United's performance in Bilbao throughout the game while on commentary, but one player in particular caught his eye.

Manchester United put one foot in the Europa League final with a 3-0 win over Athletic Club in Bilbao, with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both on target against the 10-man hosts.

After a tense opening exchange the visitors quickly got themselves on top, and after the Brazilian's opener found themselves a man up after Dani Vivian was sent off for a foul on Rasmus Hojlund.
