Erik ten Hag bemoaned Manchester United's misfortune with penalty decisions after their 1-1 draw with Burnley but also criticised his team for throwing away yet another lead.
Rio Ferdinand takes aim at Erik ten Hag as Manchester United 'chaos' slammed
09.04.2024 - 09:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Rio Ferdinand has questioned Manchester United's approach to games under Erik ten Hag this season.
The Red Devils made strides under Ten Hag during the Dutchman's first campaign in charge. United finished third in the Premier League, qualifying for the Champions League while also ending their near six-year trophy drought after winning the Carabao Cup.
But United have taken major steps backwards in Ten Hag's second season at the club with a joint club record of 12 Premier League defeats, which currently puts them in sixth, 11 points off the top four. One major criticism labelled at Ten Hag's team in 2023/24 has been their openness, which has seen them concede the most shots of any side in the league this year.

And Ferdinand has shared his concern about his old side's 'kamikaze chaos football' under Ten Hag. Speaking on his Vibe with Five show, he 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 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
