Rio Ferdinand laments 'big mistake' from Jesse Lingard after Manchester United substitute squandered possession to allow Young Boys to score late winner through Jordan Siebatcheu

Rio Ferdinand has criticised Jesse Lingard's 'big mistake' which led to Manchester United suffering a late defeat away to Young Boys.

United had taken the lead in their opening Champions League group game courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo, but their task was made harder following Aaron Wan-Bissaka's red card in the 35th minute.

Young Boys took advantage of their numerical superiority, with Moumi Ngamaleu equalising.

It looked as if the game was going to end in a draw but Lingard, who had entered the fray as a substitute for Ronaldo, gave the ball away with a stray pass, which was seized upon by Jordan Siebatcheu, who scored the winner for Young Boys late on to spark jubilant scenes.
