'Kamikaze chaos football' - Erik ten Hag's style of play at Man Utd slammed by club legend Rio Ferdinand after Liverpool draw

The United legend slammed the Dutch manager for the style of football he has introduced at Old Trafford as the Red Devils dropped points for the third consecutive match within a week after taking the lead. Ferdinand described the club's football as "kamikaze" and "chaotic."

Speaking on his Vibe with Five YouTube show, the former defender said: "The manager came out before and was saying 'if anyone can't see the style of play then I don't know what you're looking at' and basically 'we have got a style of play'. For the life of me, I give him the benefit of the doubt every time and am looking at him thinking every time 'what is it'?

"I said yesterday [Sunday] after the game if kamikaze, open sesame, no control of the game football is what we're looking for, he has it nailed on and is doing a great job at it because that's what we're playing. You can put that down to injuries, we have a load of injuries but a lot of teams have injuries and they still play a style of football they are trying to achieve. I don't think Ten Hag's style is this kamikaze chaos football."

Luis Diaz opened the scoring in Sunday's vital Premier League fixture at Old Trafford before Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo brought the hosts back into the game after half-time with two outstanding strikes. However, a late foul from Aaron Wan-Bissaka inside the penalty box allowed Mohamed Salah to net the equaliser from the spot to secure his team a point.

The Red Devils, who are currently trailing fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur by 11 points, will next face Bournemouth in a difficult away fixture in the Premier League on Saturday.
