Rio Ferdinand promises Basel response

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has told fans that the team will respond to their Champions League exit with a win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Red Devils were eiliminated from the group stage of the European competition after Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at Swiss side FC Basel.

"We will respond on Saturday....we owe the club/fans a result...not a nice feeling for us all involved + supporting the club," the 33-year-old tweeted.

United's elimination means that they will now compete in the Europa League.
