Champions League: Rio Ferdinand Has Reacted To Manchester
United 2-1 Home Loss To Sevilla
A former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand
has reacted to Manchester United 2-1 home loss to Sevilla and eventual crash
out from the Champions League on Tuesday.
The first leg ended 0-0 in Spain and United knew
they had to be wary of conceding an away goal at Old Trafford.
But after failing to score for the first 74 minutes,
substitute Wissam Ben Yedder provided the killer blow for the visiting side.
The striker scored twice within the space of four
minutes, meaning Romelu Lukaku’s late goal was nothing more than a consolation
for United.
Ferdinand said Jose Mourinho and his players played
like a team of strangers.
He said they looked like a team thrown together,
full of strangers.
He told BT Sport, “Terrible.
“I didn’t see this result or this performance
coming, especially after the result at the weekend against Liverpool, the way
in which they played.
“I thought they would have brought confidence to
this game. They looked like a team thrown together, full of strangers.
“They played with nerves, they just went out there
and played nervous and cautious from the beginning.
“In these games you’ve got to go and take the game
by the scruff of the neck.
“That takes personalities, takes characters to go
and do that.
“In this stadium you’ve got to give these fans
something to chant about.
“This stadium tonight was quiet and that’s down to
the players.”
