Rio Ferdinand says Manchester United must give their new manager the time and backing to turn the faltering club around.
United are set to appoint Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down at Old Trafford back in 2013.
Former Red Devils defender Ferdinand believes his old club must trust Ten Hag, just as Arsenal have done with Mikel Arteta, if they are to have any chance of getting back to the top. Ferdinand told William Hill: “ Manchester United are obviously now looking for a new manager, and hopefully things at the club will change.
