They looked like a team thrown together, full of strangers
Rio Ferdinand on Manchester United
“Terrible,” Ferdinand said of Manchester United following the game on BT Sport.
“I didn’t see this result or this performance coming, especially after the result at the weekend against Liverpool, the way in which they played.
“I thought they would have brought confidence to this game. They looked like a team thrown together, full of strangers.
“They played with nerves, they just went out there and played nervous and cautious from the beginning.

BT SPORT
Rio Ferdinand says Man Utd were far too nervous and cautious against Sevilla
“In these games you’ve got to go and take the game by the scruff of the neck.
“That takes personalities, takes characters to go and do that.
“In this stadium you’ve got to give these fans something to chant about.
“This stadium tonight was quiet and that’s down to the players.”
