TNT Sports football pundit Rio Ferdinand has slammed three Manchester United players for their poor marking. That allowed Forest winger Anthony Elanga to score a stunning solo goal. As the Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat at the Young City Ground on Saturday.

‘Foresters’ scored from a quick counter-attack after defending a สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น corner kick. Ryan Yates droppe the ball to the left side of his own penalty area for Elanga to drag the ball across the field through 3 ‘Red Devils’ players, surrounde in front and behind. Before firing it past Andre Onana into the net. 

In the eyes of the former United defender, his junior should have stopped his opponents from conceding three goals. 

“There were three moments where they should have stopped conceding goals,” Ferdy said.

“First of all, it was a great goal for Elanga and you can’t take that away from him.” 

“Back to the goalkeeping aspect, Patrick Dorku should have rushed back to his own goal.”

“The first thing you have to consider is defense. Since you know you’re going to be harasse by your opponents at speed, you have to get into a better position.” 

“Alejandro Garnacho should have knocked that guy down and taken the foul.” 

“As for Noussair Mazraoui, he has to be involved with the offensive players as much as possible.” 

United have lost their 13th game of the season with eight matchdays remaining and are well on course to break Erik ten Hag ‘s 2023-24 stalemate, losing 14 league games, their all-time record.
