Rio Ferdinand claims in an interview with a podcast in England that David de Gea is the only player at Manchester United who he "would go to war with" after the defeat of the Red Devils on Sunday in a derby against Manchester City.
The champions dismantled the city rival 1: 4 at the Etihad Stadium, which greatly hurts United's chances of finishing in the top four at the end of the season.
"In the first half we could say United were in the game, but in the last 20 minutes, as Roy Keane said on Sunday, and it was very true, we really found out how weak the players mentally are today. "Who can you look into the eyes and say, 'I still want to go to war with this guy.'"
United played pretty well in the first half, pressed high, and scored an equalizer from the feet of Gideon Sancho, before City captain Kevin de Bruyne put the hosts in the lead once again.
After the half United were much less in the picture, and when Riyad Rhyme scored the third for City half an hour before the end of the game, the players lost all confidence and basically gave up, allowing City to move the ball from behind without any pressure.
On the relationship in the locker room the former player said: "Everyone just wants to be friends and no one wants to hurt his friends but that everyone is nice and they do not really love each other but and no one says to his friend: 'You are rubbish, get better', nothing "It will get better. It doesn't have to be so aggressive either. It can also be a good conversation. The body language of the players is terrible."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
