Rio Ferdinand hints relegation fears for Manchester United

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has voiced concerns that the Red Devils may end up relegated this season with current form.

Ferdinand claims United will struggle to win another Premier League match, raising fears of a potential relegation battle.

United currently sit 15th in the league after suffering their 12th defeat of the season, a 1-0 loss to Tottenham.

This marks their worst start to a league campaign since the 1973-74 season, which ended in relegation.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the 46-year-old, highlighted United’s worrying form, pointing out that they are only 12 points clear of the relegation zone with a tough fixture list ahead.

“The only place I see us getting anything — and I’m not even saying a win — is Leicester,” Ferdinand admitted. “I’m not seeing wins. That’s the problem.”

United’s struggles have been compounded by injuries, with manager Ruben Amorim missing 12 key players in the Spurs defeat, including Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Christian Eriksen.

With games against Everton, Arsenal, Man City, and Newcastle looming, Ferdinand’s concerns proves the growing uncertainty surrounding United’s campaign.

While a couple of wins could ease fears, their current form suggests a battle to secure mid-table safety rather than a push for European spots.
