Rio Ferdinand is relieved that teams have stopped "taking liberties" against Manchester United at Old Trafford since Erik ten Hag was appointed as their manager.
As well as vast improvements across the board this season, Ten Hag and his United side have strung together an impressive home record with only two defeats coming in all competitions. Brighton humbled United in that Premier League opener and Real Sociedad were also victorious on their Europa League visit in August.
However, following those early-campaign defeats, United have won 14 games at Old Trafford and drawn once, while Reading were beaten at the iconic venue in the FA Cup on Saturday night. And it was a post-match press conference from Reading manager Paul Ince which led Ferdinand to his conclusion.
