“For a game like this, 100% and it’s been proven,” Ferdinand said when asked whether the combination was the best available to Mourinho.

“Burnley away, they played very well. Fellaini was good in that game as well. Today he was the man of the match for Manchester United. I think today the balance in that midfield looked very good against this type of opposition away from home,” Ferdinand continued.
