Manchester United have to 'grab on to the emotion' of dramatic comeback victory against Atalanta, insists Rio Ferdinand... because it will help 'lift the spirit' of the dressing room ahead of crucial Liverpool clash

Manchester United must focus on their second-half comeback against Atalanta rather than worry about their woeful opening 45 minutes ahead of the clash against Liverpool, Rio Ferdinand believes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men were rocked in the first half of their Group B fixture when Mario Pasalic and Merih Demiral took advantage of sloppy United defending to help the Serie A side take a two-goal lead into the break.

But the hosts produced a stunning second-half comeback, with Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire restoring parity before Cristiano Ronaldo scored yet another winner at Old Trafford, just as he had done in their previous European outing against Villarreal.
