Former Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand believes manager Erik ten Hag would trade his whole starting XI for better players if he could.
Ferdinand made the admission following Saturday's 4-0 battering at the hands of Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. United found themselves 4-0 down after just 35 minutes, producing their worst first-half performance in living memory.
They were battered and bullied by the Bees, who made the most of two goalkeeping errors by David de Gea and some non-existent defending, with Brentford boss Thomas Frank later admitting that his side planned to exploit Lisandro Martinez's weaknesses. The Reds were blown away by the Bees, leaving Ten Hag with no choice but to make three substitutions at half-time, even though he admitted that he could have made more.
