Rio Ferdinand On Ten Hag, Following Their ‘Strange’ Form

Rio Ferdinand has expressed his interests about Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag whose team Manchester United are 6th on the league table, with only one win in their last five League games.

There are several inquiries concerning whether Ten Hag’s rule at United has reached a conclusion. While many fans are not just baffled about the team’s current situation, they need answers to United’s steady ‘death’.

Having said that, Rio Ferdinand has detailed his worries for Manchester United this season.

On Thursday April 4, the club endured one more emotional capitulation in the closing stages, this time against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

With Marcus Rashford left on the bench without precedent for 2024, Erik ten Hag’s side fell behind from an early goal from Conor Gallagher followed by a Cole Palmer penalty inside the first 20 minutes.

The visitors immediately responded, and looked set to get three points, kind courted a goal from skipper Bruno Fernandes and an Alejandro Garnacho assist.

Sadly for Ten Hag, his team were by and by unfit to keep up with the lead in the final stages, with Palmer adding two goals in stoppage time to get all the three points for the hosts.

Erik ten Hag’s side lost three of their last five and sit nine points behind Tottenham. With only four points from a potential 15 in their last five league games, United now face a difficult task to fit the bill for Champions League football, with Ten Hag conceding as a whole lot sooner this week.

Speaking following Man City’s win against Crystal Palace, Ferdinand admitted that he is unsure if his former club have made any great improvements in the Dutchman’s second season in charge.

Speaking in an interview with TNT Sports, Ferdinand said:

‘But I think if you just look at the facts of the matter, are Manchester United any further forward than they were at the end of last season?.

‘I was sitting there quite, “you know what, actually, I’m looking forward to this season”, but it hasn’t panned out like that at all.

‘Yes, there’s been a lot of injuries. But we’re no closer to seeing what an Erik ten Hag team is now than we were on day one of this season. And that concerns me a little bit.

‘As I said, when we have spoken to him he has mentioned injuries and they have had a lot of injuries.

‘Don’t get me wrong, but it’s unfortunate everyone has injuries and you’ve got to deal with it. And they just haven’t been able to deal with it as well as other teams.’

The club’s injury crisis has been so severe this season that they announced an internal investigation had been opened in a bid to get to the bottom of the issue.

The crisis deepened this week with defenders Martinez and Lindelof ruled out for a month with calf and hamstring injuries respectively, joining Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia on the sidelines.

Rio Ferdinand isn’t content with the sluggish advancement of his former beloved team Manchester United.
