Ferdinand slams Man Utd over lack of leaders in Copenhagen 'capitulation': 'It’s a rollercoaster'
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand theorizes the Red Ogres are ago in “challenge placement” after their 4-3 loss to Copenhagen on Wednesday and has criticised their scarcity of leaders.
Dude Utd have had a deadly overture to the brand name-detectable season and will run away the Champions League if they lose to Galatasaray in Turkey at the run out of November.
They haven’t fared a ton more detailed in the Premier League via the Red Ogres squandering 5 of their initially 11 league complements of the season, while they have fourthly crashed out the League Cup.
It was all going nicely in Denmark on Wednesday via Erik ten Hag’s mens 2-0 upwards – yet a Marcus Rashford sending out off switched over the video game.
Bruno Fernandes did openly ranked them 3-2 ahead from the penalty detect after Mohamed Elyounoussi and Diogo Goncalves had obtained Copenhagen ago level.
But Lukas Lerager and replacement Roony Bardghji racked upwards to impart Copenhagen a inestimable 3 junctures and reject the Red Ogres’ hopes of licensing for the last-16 hanging by a string.
And also Ferdinand theorizes Dude Utd are lacking “characters” to “tug the team via” once they face strenuous defects like the Rashford sending out off.
Ferdinand told TNT Sports: “Ago anew applicable into challenge placement, I think that’s the way it is, it’s a rollercoaster at Dude United now.
“I think there’s zero document, I was shadowing that video game and I was hollering, 2-0 upwards, Rasmus Hojlund, believing, ‘Wow, detected a rescuer’. And also then all of a laconic the wheels purely fall off, they capitulate.
“That purely signals to me a scarcity of personality at the minute. There’s not enough characters in there to tug the team via once they’re in a affliction in which there’s a snippet of obstacle, or they’re under a snippet of discomfort.
“They haven’t obtained those leaders and characters to acquire them via – or they haven’t obtained enough leaders and characters to tug them via in those minutes. And also that’s what you last offer.
“It doesn’t come down to capacity in those defects. Away at Copenhagen, I’ve been there, we obtained vanquished 1-0 once I was there. But this is much too periodically we’re watching this confiscate elbowroom.”
10 Hag is unborn under discomfort over the overture to the season yet summer season signing Rasmus Hojlund – who racked upwards twice against Copenhagen – is backing the Dutchman to rotate it about at Dude Utd.
“A in reality dreamy trainer,” Hojlund asserted. “He cares about every singular detail, and he help me a ton, provides me the majority of stability and stabilizes me.
“I think every player in the spice elbowroom support him. I hope it is purely a matter of time (before we will flourish).
“The initially 30 minutes today was some of the most unadventurous football we have been messing around this season.”
