Former Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand has spoken on the defense challenges faced at the club where he played as a defender.
According to Rio, the club should forget about winning the Champions League this season because of their shaky defense.
Asked if the defense was good enough to launch a European challenge, Ferdinand said: “No, they aren’t and they won’t be.
“They haven’t bought anyone in who is going to change that. They’ve got a Superman (David de Gea) in goal. If he’s not in goal I don’t know what would’ve happened over the last four years. The guys in front of him, there are inconsistencies every week.
“You can’t build a defense on people that aren’t going to be reliable. And then when people are in there they haven’t performed.
“Has (Victor) Lindelof worked? No. Has (Eric) Bailly worked? No. (Chris) Smalling and (Phil) Jones haven’t kicked on, given the potential they showed when they first came through the door.”
