Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has revealed two major problems with the team under their current manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, this season

According to Ferdinand, Man United under Solskjaer, this term, are struggling to find an identity and who they are.

This is coming after Man United suffered an embarrassing Premier League 5-0 defeat against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Speaking along with his brother Anton, Ferdinand reflected on the outcome of the match between Man United and Liverpool on his Five podcasts:

“It was an embarrassment.

“I have been there, we got beat 6-1 at home by Man City. But we had an identity to fall back on in a couple of weeks.

“This is the problem for this team, they are struggling to find an identity and who they are.

“These are the questions, when you watch the game, you think ‘what are we?

‘Is the manager giving the players the right information? And if so, are the players not taking on the information?

“That is what the manager needs to get to the bottom of because at the moment, it looks like a team just thrown together.”

Man United are now in the 7th position on the Premier League table with 14 points from 9 games.

Their next game is against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on October 30.
