Ferdinard reveals two people he pities at Man Utd after 4-0 defeat to Brentford

Former Man United star Rio Ferdinand in a statement has said he felt pity for coach Erik Ten Hag and Cristiano Ronaldo over the club’s performance.

According to Ferdinand, the expectations of Ten Hag and Ronaldo have already been dashed after their low activity in this summer transfer window.

Ten Hag could only look on as the Red Devils were bashed by Brentford in a 4-0 scoreline thanks to goals from Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee, and Bryan Mbeumo.

The defeat to Brentford makes it the Red Devils’ second defeat from the first two games of the season, having lost their first match to Brighton at Old Trafford.

“I feel sorry for Ten Hag,” the former England international told FIVEUK.

“He’s come in under false pretences. He’s come in expecting new signings.

“People are moaning at Cristiano Ronaldo but he’s sitting there thinking, ‘I’m expecting new signings as well.’

“Now he’s [Ten Hag] probably sitting there thinking ‘I’ve been sold a dummy here, I didn’t know I was coming into this’.”

So far Man Utd have signed three players and they are Christian Eriksen, who joined as a free agent; Lisandro Martinez from Ajax, and Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord.
