Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has revealed he’s disappointed the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho haven’t helped Manchester United challenge for titles.

“The hype of those signings hyped me up, hyped all the United fanbase up,” Ferdinand said. “But reality has to come and bite and you’ve got to sit back and say where are we really at?

“United aren’t in a place to win and challenge for trophies, that’s it – the big trophies, Champions League and Premier League.

“I just feel that sometimes you have to accept where you are. Man United have lived off past successes for too long. This isn’t the Man United of 12-15 years ago. Man United historically should be challenging but where they are now, no.”
