Man Utd hero Rio Ferdinand hails Patrice Evra as better than Liverpool's Andy Robertson

Rio Ferdinand believes Patrice Evra was a better left-back than Liverpool's Andy Robertson – despite hailing the Scot as 'top drawer'.

Ferdinand played alongside Evra for eight-and-a-half years at Manchester United, winning the Premier League five times and the Champions League once under Sir Alex Ferguson.

They also played alongside each other for one season under David Moyes towards the end of their careers.
