Rio Ferdinand has ripped into Manchester United's summer signing Joshua Zirkzee for passing the ball to Harry Maguire in the dying minutes of their 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday (January 5). The former England defender opined that Zirkzee should have attempted to convert the late opportunity himself instead of picking out Maguire.
Manchester United put on a spirited display against a rampant Liverpool side in a match that could have swung either way in the dying embers. After a goalless first half, Ruben Amorim’s men took the lead in the 52nd minute through Lisandro Martinez. Cody Gakpo, however, put the Reds back on level terms seven minutes later.
Mohamad Salah turned the game on its head in the 70th minute by converting his spot kick, but Amad Diallo came up clutch for United in the 80th minute to score an equalizer.
