Rio Ferdinand said Manchester United “might as well” appoint Sam Allardyce as manager following their horror show at Brentford.
A dismal year reached yet another low on Saturday as United were humiliated by Thomas Frank’s side in London. A disastrous performance saw the Reds fall 4-0 behind within just 35 minutes, with the visitors proving to be the architects of their own downfall.
