Man United have won just five Premier League games so far and Ferdinand has offered a reason why Erik ten Hag may be finding it tough.
Rio Ferdinand says off-field matters have hampered Erik ten Hag’s ability to fully concentrate on football matters at Manchester United, suggesting no other manager in English football has experienced such a chaotic start to their tenure.
Cristiano Ronaldo had his contract terminated last year after publicly declaring he had no respect for the United boss while in current times, Jadon Sancho continues his non-apology stand-off. Antony and Mason Greenwood have meanwhile had legal matters against them.READ MORE: Ferdinand urges Ratcliffe to do what Glazers have failed to do
Ferdinand told The Mirror: “I’m not making excuses but, in his defence, I don’t know any manager who has come into a job this big, or any job in England, who has had this much to deal with off the pitch. “Yes, other managers have had difficult moments but 95 per cent of the issues are on the pitch with the odd thing off the pitch. When you are winning they get put to the side.
