Growing calls to sack Ole

Among other calls, Rio Ferdinand asked to hand over the Manchester United manager’s “baton” after a string of damaging results. Ferdinand said fans started the season full of hope after the high-profile signings of Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Varane before results nosedived. “I sit here now and I don’t think we can challenge to win this league,” Ferdinand said on his Vibe with Five podcast.

“I look at our team every week and I’m wondering what are we going to do tactically. I don’t see any philosophy or an identity in the Man United way of playing, whatever that should be from the management. I sit here confused, looking at the team.”

Ferdinand said United had made steady progress during Solskjaer’s nearly three years at the helm but now he felt there is a need for a change.
