Rio Ferdinand’s hilarious reaction to Manchester United’s dramatic Europa League comeback

Rio Ferdinand’s hilarious reaction to Manchester United’s dramatic Europa League comeback has been captured on camera.

The former centre-back was commentating on United’s Europa League clash against Lyon for TNT Sports on Thursday evening (17 April).

United trailed 4-2 in extra time of the Europa League quarter-final when Alexandre Lacazette converted a 109th minute penalty and some supporters decided to head for the exits.

But Amorim’s team scored three times in the final six minutes - with goals from Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire coming after the 120th-minute mark - to save their season.

A normally composed Ferdinand can be seen jumping up and down in the commentary box, repeatedly shouting and punching the air.
