“He always make bad decisions on the pitch and onana is the only one who takes the blame,Ten hag should terminate his contract immediately” : Rio Ferdinand says one Man Utd player ‘shouldn’t be at the club’ after Man City defeat

Manchester United lost 3-1 to City in the 192nd Manchester derby, with Marcus Rashford stunning everyone by handing United the lead early with a superb goal.

Despite United’s surprising lead, Phil Foden’s brace and a late Erling Haaland goal clinched City’s victory, marking United’s second consecutive league defeat under Erik ten Hag.

Throughout the game, United struggled and were mostly confined to their own penalty area, leading many fans to expect a larger victory margin for City.

Ten Hag faced issues with several key players out due to injuries, notably Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire.

As a result, experienced defender Jonny Evans was called upon to start, marking his 17th Premier League game of the season since rejoining the club last summer.

Evans, who departed Old Trafford in 2015, has returned to offer defensive depth and experience. His extensive playing time this season, which has exceeded expectations, has piqued the interest of former United teammate Rio Ferdinand.

Ferdinand praised Evans’ strong achievements but voiced astonishment at his lengthy stay at the club.

Ferdinand lauded Evans’ ball skills and his potential mentorship of younger players, implying that coaching could be in his future.

Despite Evans’ commendable performances, Ferdinand questioned his long-term presence at United, claiming it typifies the club’s current state.

Ferdenand said that Evans should not be relied on to face powerful opponents such as Haaland, emphasising the disparity between United’s current position and the expectations of top-tier clubs.

United’s failure in the Manchester derby highlights their difficulties, as injuries force them to rely on veteran players like Evans, who may not fit the profile of players generally associated with top clubs.

While Evans’ performance is commendable, Ferdinand believes United’s reliance on him reflects the club’s current situation and emphasises the necessity for strategic adjustments to compete at the highest level.
