Rio Ferdinand has slammed Manchester United's failure to address their defence this summer and insists signing Jadon Sancho would not mask the club's 'fundamental issues'. I think you look at Liverpool, they bought Alisson to solve their goalkeeping issue and Van Dijk for their defence, Man United have not done that [addressed their issues at the back]. I want Jadon Sancho, he is a generational talent and would get fans off their seats, but does he solve the fundamental problems I see with this team? 'There are moments before games when the opposition, are they looking across and saying they are going to have to be at their best to score past this Man United defence? When asked what position United should prioritise signing, Ferdinand responded immediately: 'Centre-half', as did fellow BT Sport pundit Joe Cole.
