Rio Ferdinand has admitted he was never confident of Manchester United’s chance against Everton in a damning verdict of his former club.
United yet again produced a dismal display as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park to put their top four hopes into further jeopardy. Anthony Gordon’s deflected first-half strike was enough for Frank Lampard’s struggling side to pick up a much-needed win in their battle against relegation.
Despite falling behind midway through the first half, United always looked unlikely to get back into the game as they put in yet another meek performance in what has been a dreadful season. With just seven games remaining, their chances of reaching fourth now hang by a thread.
