Rio Ferdinand reveals why he thinks Erik ten Hag joined Man United under 'false pretences'

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has admitted he feels sorry for Erik ten Hag and believes the Dutchman has joined the club under "false pretences".

He made the comments after United were embarrassed in their Premier League outing against Brentford on Saturday evening, losing 4-0 to a side who looked at one point as though they could have been relegated from the top flight last season.

Ten Hag's side fell behind early on as Josh Dasilva's shot somehow squirmed in under the body of David de Gea, before goals from Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbuemo put the Bees 4-0 up before half-time.
