Rio Ferdinand insists former Manchester United teammate Patrice Evra was a superior left-back to Liverpool's Andrew Robertson.

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.

"I've got to go with Evra, Evra is a better player," said Ferdinand.

"He's quicker, stronger. In between the boxes Evra is better as well, can play and move, gets in behind people.

"He didn't have as many assists as someone like Robertson, but he scored more.

"He was a better one versus one defender, but Robertson is top drawer, don't get me wrong."
