Ex-Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has admitted that comparing his old team to the current Liverpool side is like 'chalk and cheese' after the Reds, who remain level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, cruised to a comfortable 4-0 win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League at Anfield on Wednesday night.
United had been played off the park by Juventus at Old Trafford 24 hours earlier and have struggled badly in domestic circles so far this season.
Speaking on BT Sport after the Liverpool game, Ferdinand declared, "That's a squad full of confidence and a manager feeding off that and then feeding the players more confidence by giving them the good vibes and congratulating them on a good performance.
