I don’t know what Ten Hag gets by starting Him always, I’m sick and tired of Him,If Ten Hag can’t bench Him then He should be sack”, Rio Ferdinand reveals the ONE Man United player that He wants out of the team now
Rio Ferdinand recently voiced his frustrations with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag’s decision-making, specifically regarding a particular player he believes should be benched. According to Ferdinand, if Ten Hag refuses to make this change, he should consider stepping down.
Manchester United faced a tough 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce in the Europa League under Jose Mourinho’s guidance, leaving fans and analysts, including Ferdinand, disappointed. Here’s a breakdown of each player’s performance in that match.
Player Ratings
(A score of 6 represents an average performance.)
Andre Onana – 9: Onana was a standout, making an impressive double-save that kept United in the game. His reflexes were sharp, and he commanded his area well, despite not being able to do much about Fenerbahce’s equalizer. His distribution was satisfactory, and overall, his performance provided much-needed stability.
Diogo Dalot – 6: Dalot handled the challenge of facing Allan Saint-Maximin capably. His solid performance provided reliable coverage on his side of the pitch.
Matthijs de Ligt – 6: De Ligt delivered a consistent display, fulfilling his defensive duties without making any major errors.
Victor Lindelof – 4: Lindelof’s performance, however, fell short, particularly during Fenerbahce’s equalizer. He allowed En-Nesyri too much freedom, failing to make any significant effort to stop the striker’s header—a costly mistake.
Lisandro Martinez – 5: Martinez occasionally left gaps early on but improved as the game went on. He showed better control when he moved to the center-back position.
Manuel Ugarte – 7: Ugarte gave a notably better performance than his previous outings, executing several critical tackles and intercepting Fenerbahce’s advances. A key moment was his last-minute intervention to prevent a certain goal in the first half.
Christian Eriksen – 8: Eriksen’s goal put United in the lead, and he contributed well on the ball, creating some promising plays and helping United control the midfield.
Noussair Mazraoui – 5: Mazraoui struggled in the No. 10 position, failing to find his rhythm. His performance improved once he shifted to his natural full-back position.
Marcus Rashford – 6: Rashford’s offensive threat was limited, with only one significant chance in the first half. His lack of involvement stemmed in part from not receiving the ball enough.
Alejandro Garnacho – 6: Garnacho made some attempts to spark the offense, but his efforts didn’t yield much effect.
Joshua Zirkzee – 3: Zirkzee had a poor showing, failing to hold up the ball or connect with teammates effectively. His involvement in counterattacks was marred by hesitation or overhit passes, leading to lost opportunities. He was one of the first players subbed out.
Substitutes
Rasmus Hojlund – 6: Hojlund injected more energy than Zirkzee and nearly scored with a well-placed shot, but it was blocked by Fenerbahce’s goalkeeper, Dominik Livaković.
Casemiro – 6: Casemiro worked to add some forward momentum with his passing.
Antony – 5: Antony’s game was short-lived due to an injury that forced him off the field early.
Amad Diallo – 5: Diallo saw limited game time, and many are still baffled by his lack of consistent playtime.
Ferdinand’s comments reflect the mounting frustrations over Manchester United’s tactics and lineup decisions, with many supporters eager for a change that could bring more cohesion and consistency to the squad.
