Rio Ferdinand has defended Cristiano Ronaldo's work rate, by insisting his end product justifies his value to Manchester United.
Ronaldo's defensive side has been called into question in recent weeks, with his lack of pressing criticised as part of United's inconsistent form this term.
Yet, the forward was once again his team's hero on Tuesday night, scoring at the end of each half to rescue a crucial point in their Champions League encounter at Atalanta.
The late goal is his third in the Champions League this term, having also netted in the 81st minute in the 3-2 win over Atalanta in the reverse fixture and also a last-gasp winner over Villarreal - in addition to his opening night strike in the defeat at Young Boys.
