Asked if Solskjaer was doing a good enough job, Ferdinand told BT Sport: ‘The results would suggest not. ‘The recruitment… you look at some of those players who have come in: Rojo, Falcao, Fellaini, Schneiderlin, Darmian, Depay – were these players ever Manchester United players really? For different reasons: Ability, mentality, style of play – were they ever really Manchester United players? Or was it the club saying no, hold on we’re going to buy for now but also future proof the club as well. There’s young kids in schools around this country, they’re not going to be wearing Manchester United shirts, they’re not going to want to come here and support Manchester United.
