Manchester United lack leaders – Rio Ferdinand

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has bemoaned the lack of leadership in the Manchester United squad.
United were left bottom of Group A, after coming from a 2-0 lead to lose 4-3 against Copenhagen.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has blamed the defeat on a lack of leadership.
Asked about the result on TNT Sports, he said: “Back again into crisis mode, I think that’s the way it is, it’s a rollercoaster at Man United now.
“I think there’s no consistency, I was watching that game and I was screaming, 2-0 up, Rasmus Hojlund, thinking, ‘Wow, found a hero’. And then all of a sudden the wheels just fall off, they capitulate.
“That just signals to me a lack of character at the moment. There’s not enough characters in there to pull the team through when they’re in a situation where there’s a bit of adversity, or they’re under a bit of duress.
“They haven’t got those leaders and characters to get them through – or they haven’t got enough leaders and characters to pull them through in those moments. And that’s what you need.
“It doesn’t come down to ability in those situations. Away at Copenhagen, I’ve been there, we got beat 1-0 when I was there. But this is far too often we’re seeing this happen.”
