‘Get around listed here!’ – Rio Ferdinand calls on Glazers to shoulder blame for Manchester United mess and defends Erik ten Hag

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has named on the club’s homeowners, the Glazer family, to entrance up to supporters and shoulder the blame for the latest crisis at Old Trafford.

It is really the initially time due to the fact the inaugural Leading League time of 1992/93 that United have started out a campaign with two defeats, while it marked a seventh consecutive away league defeat.

Ferdinand, who gained 6 league titles and the Champions League at United for the duration of his playing job, was still left furious at the lack of conversation from the Glazers soon after a shambolic transfer window.

“Where the hell are they?! Get here! Get over below,” Ferdinand claimed on the 5 podcast.

He ongoing: “This isn’t like a standard business, this is a soccer club with heritage, with background, with character, with personality, authentic people concerned. So, address it like that.

“They will need to come in this article and communicate. Interaction is a person of the critical factors to staying effective, from the prime down.

“They’re not communicating with the fans, they are not communicating with the individuals, no 1 is familiar with where by they are, they cannot set a deal with to it. I believe which is disrespectful, and I think it truly is out of get.

“They need to arrive in this article and set on their own right at the entrance and commence shouldering some of this blame.

“Because they are allowing for other people today to just take the blame and they are intrinsic in what goes on at this soccer club – excellent or terrible.”

A person person Ferdinand thinks should not be blamed for the condition of the club is new manager Erik 10 Hag.

The Dutchman, who joined from Ajax this summer season, is the to start with United manager considering that John Chapman in 1921 to lose his opening two online games in charge.

However, Ferdinand believes a poor transfer window has left Ten Hag hung out to dry, with Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez staying the only new arrivals so significantly.

“I don’t experience sorry for the players, I truly feel sorry for 10 Hag. He’s arrive in less than fake pretences. He’s arrive in expecting new signings,” Ferdinand explained.

“He’s almost certainly sitting there considering: ‘I’ve been marketed a dummy right here. I did not know I was coming into this’.

“Confidence, I know, was going to be very low. He understood that, but he believed ‘I’ll be able to rebuild that’. But of course, the players are not at the standard needed. Easy as that.

“Some of the gamers will sit there and go ‘that’s out of get, you can not talk’ – it is a actuality!

“The success explain to you that. This isn’t really a result about a month or two, this is a final result about a very long, sustained amount of time.

“You’ve experienced ample time to sort of drop form and construct it back again up once again and occur again and show us your correct selves. It’s not going on.”

He extra: “I would not blame 10 Hag right now. You can select at his workforce variety or whichever, but this is a more substantial challenge, a broader challenge than that.”

United’s big target during the summer season has been Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, but the Netherlands international is no nearer to creating an Old Trafford switch and Ferdinand was vital of the club’s solution.

“They’ve walked all over at the rear of him, begging him – ‘please change spherical and notice us’,” Ferdinand reported.

“And he’s searching about and stating, ‘not for me’. And we’re however there, ‘please give us just one chance’. How are we permitting ourselves to be put in a placement like that?

“Do you consider Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex or Jose Mourinho would be subsequent about a player like this? They wouldn’t be doing that!”
