United twice led at St James's Park 2-0 and 3-2 but a late goal from Paul Dummett rescued a point for the relegation battlers.

Wayne Rooney scored twice either side of a Jesse Lingard effort but Georginio Wijnaldum, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dummett spoiled Van Gaal's evening.

"He [Van Gaal] looks livid. I think the chances that they created and didn't put away," Ferdinand told BT Sport. "He probably went bananas in the changing room after.

"And you can understand that frustration because today they put a lot of good things together and he would of been coming out there expecting them to win it, creating all the chances to shut the likes of us up."

Ferdinand's old team-mate Paul Scholes believes United are some way off winning the Premier League title.

"Is it a team that can go on to win the league? I don't think so at the minute," he said.

"Top four is a definite possibility. They should be good enough for the top four without a shadow of a doubt."

United will look to bounce back from the disappointment of dropping two points this weekend when they face arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield.
