Former center -back Rio Ferdinand analyzed MU's performance in the opening match against Arsenal, and pointed out the big “problem” of captain Bruno Fernandes.
In this match, the Gunners won a star against the Red Devils thanks to the only goal of Riccardo Calafiori after the mistake from goalkeeper Altay Bayindir at the beginning of the match.
The rookie Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha were kicked in the official debut for MU, while Benjamin Sesko came on in the second half. The duo Mbeumo – Cunha left positive signs on the opening day, but Bayindir's silly mistake made the Red Devils lose three important points at home.
After the battle, Ferdinand had straight reviews about the performance of the students of coach Ruben Amorim, which particularly emphasized the “problem” that captain Bruno Fernandes encountered. Besides, Ferdinand also praised for the physical strength and speed of the Red Devils.
On the personal page X, the 46 -year -old legend wrote: “MU vs Arsenal. This is the most overwhelming performance that I see MU playing against a strong opponent for many years, even though I still have to receive failure.”
“Positive point: Physical strength, speed, cunha and mbeumo are very active. The players are willing to move when holding the ball and when changing the state.
“Negative points: Silly goals, goalkeepers need to do better. When Bruno kicks deep, the team must be more drastic in the state transfer phase. Bruno tends to think about rising. And these distraction can become a problem before the stronger and stronger teams.
Ferdinand believes that Amorim coach will definitely work to overcome the limitations that have just revealed against Arsenal, and set goals to help MU return with a victory in the next round, when they marched to Fulham's field on August 24.
