Rio Ferdinand praised the “nonchalance” of a Manchester United star who returned from injury during the victory in the Europa League against Athletic Bilbao.
Ruben Amorim’s team won a very important 3-0 victory against the Basque team in what was a feverish atmosphere in San Mames.
The Portuguese manager will be delighted to have such healthy advantage in Old Trafford against a team that has the best defense of Laliga this season.
However, the local team made their task more difficult when they were reduced to 10 men in 35 minutes, shortly after Casemiro opened the scoring for visitors.
Dani Vivian was sent for a foul on Rasmus Hojlund inside the penalty surface, the kick duly converted by Bruno Fernandes.
Speaking on TNT Sports, Ferdinand distinguished a return player to rent following a long layoff.

Amad Diallo impressed on his return from injury, which arrives at a superb moment for Man United
Note the return of Amad Diallo, he said: “I am missing, you know. I missed Amad. Its nonchalance sometimes.
“He wants the ball under pressure, plays with a little risk.”
The Red Devils had been without Diallo since he suffered an ankle injury in February.
It was initially feared that the problem would governed the 22 -year -old for the rest of the season.
However, he was presented to replace Patrick Dorgu with six minutes to play Thursday evening.
It remains to be seen if Diallo will start or not in the leg back to Old Trafford next week.
But United stimulated their chances of recovering something from their miserable season in the Europa League, which could also grant a qualification for the Champions League and a very necessary cash injection.
The Red Devils obtained a late draw against Ten-Man Bournemouth on Sunday, which allowed them to get closer to 40 points.
The dull count represents the lowest of the club at this stage of a Premier League season in its history.
