Diogo Dalot may have been named man of the match during Manchester United's win at Brentford on Wednesday night, but for Rio Ferdinand there was only one standout performer.
United won 3-1 in west London courtesy of second-half goals from Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford.
BT Sport's co-commentator Martin Keown named the visitors' right back Dalot as man of the match to the disbelief of Ferdinand who felt central midfielder Scott McTominay was the catalyst for their triumph.
'Martin [Keown] on commentary was the person who gave Dalot man of the match, I couldn't believe it,' Ferdinand said after the game on BT Sport.
'McTominay was head and shoulders above everybody. I text him [Martin] saying, "what's going on?".
'I saw him in a restaurant last week and just spoke to him briefly about working hard and playing hard and that's all you hear about him.
'He's an honest kid, he wants to do well and improve.
'You saw in his game today where his intensity and desire, you could see it from the first minute.
'At Manchester United, you need a certain amount of ability but personality and character are what gets you through and enables you to stay at this club for a long time.
'He's shown that in a time of need when this club has been shaky at the best of times.'

Mactominay worked really hard but his game has a critical minus- He doesn’t free himself for passes
I noticed that to, at least Fred doesn't shy away from passes

Mc Tominay is my chose even though Diogo Dalots was also excellent but Fred doesn't fit in that position as he is too shaky !
