      by

      RIO FERDINAND slammed Manchester United’s “unforgivable” performance against Everton and suggested he has NEVER seen his former team play this bad before.Ferdinand, 46, won a raft of silverware with United during a glittering 12-year stint at Old Trafford as he lifted six Premier League titles and the 2008 Champions League trophy.Rio Ferdinand lambasted Manchester United after their draw with EvertonCredit: AlamyFerdinand slammed Man Utd for their ‘unforgivable’ performance at EvertonCredit: ReutersBut the legendary centre-back has seen his beloved team hitting new lows this season by dropping to 15th place in the Premier League table with 12 points separating them from European qualification.And Man Utd’s troubles continued on Saturday when the former England international watched Ruben Amorim’s side draw 2-2 at Everton after finding themselves two goals down by half-time.Ferdinand was left fuming and didn’t hold back on his brutal post-match analysis as he stated this might be the worst United have ever been during his lifetime.The popular pundit lambasted the players’ “embarrassing” display and lack of desire, which he found especially unacceptable.Read More on Man UtdThe ex-Leeds star advised manager Amorim not to hold back on his assessment of the players and let them know how disappointing they were once more in the dressing room.Ferdinand told TNT Sports: “I’m sitting here and I don’t know if I have seen a United team this bad. It has been embarrassing in all different facets of the game.“Yes, we can talk about quality, you talk about talent, but one thing which is unforgivable is a lack of desire.“There’s instances in this game where Man Utd need to look at this Everton team and take examples from it. It’s embarrassing to sit here and watch it.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSMan Utd ratings vs EvertonMANCHESTER UNITED fought back from two goals down to draw against Everton at Goodison ParkThe Red Devils were slammed as “embarrassing” by Rio Ferdinand after failing 2-0 down in the first half.But they fought back late on thanks to a stunning Bruno Fernandes free-kick and volley from Manuel Ugarte, who bagged his first goal since his summer arrival from PSG.Amorim’s men were then lucky to escape a penalty in the final moments after VAR overturned the decision.SunSport’s Ken Lawrence has given his ratings of the Manchester United team…Andre Onana – 7United needed him with his game-head on, and his 93rd-minute stop saved a point.Noussair Mazraoui 69′ – 4Looked seriously uncomfortable on the right side of the back three – forced there because of a defensive injury crisisHarry Maguire – 4Out-jumped by Doucoure as the midfielder grabbed Everton’s second and was generally all over the place.Matthijs de Ligt – 4Nowhere for Beto’s opener, completely missing attempted clearance and got away with a 93rd-minute penalty call.Diogo Dalot – 5At least shows willing.

They’ve been pressed, they’ve been harried. They haven’t been able to deal with the press at all.Man Utd ratings: Casemiro disappearing into irrelevance as Real Madrid legend saved again by Bruno Fernandes “They have chance after chance to clear the ball. Zero conviction, no-one taking over the situation.“You’ve got to fight. You don’t come to Everton at this place, whatever form they’re in, and think you can roll them over easily. Man Utd have not understood that assignment from the first whistle.“I hope [Amorim] went absolutely ballistic at the players. They were out-run, out-fought, out-jumped, every single department of the game. They were second best.” More

      Liverpool will probably win Premier League because they have Darwin Nunez to come off bench, says Reds title winner

      by

      RONNY ROSENTHAL has urged Kop flop Darwin Nunez to silence the hate mob by firing Liverpool to the title.The striker was slammed by boss Arne Slot and ridiculed by fans after his horror miss in Wednesday’s draw at Aston Villa.Darwin Nunez has been backed to shine despite his horror mid-week missCredit: RexRonny Rosenthal knows all about bouncing back from a bad missCredit: RexBut former Anfield star Rosenthal — who also blew a sitter against Villa 33 years ago — declared: “If you’re Nunez, you have only one option — to show what you can do when you’re given the chance.”Liverpool can go ELEVEN points clear at the top of the Premier League with victory at Manchester City today.And Rosenthal, 61, predicted: “Liverpool will probably win the league because they have a top striker like Nunez to come off the bench.”On how the Uruguayan will bounce back from his miss, Rosenthal added: “I don’t think it will affect him. This is part and parcel of the game. Anyone, even the biggest striker in the world, can miss.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“This is not the point, though — the point is to see things over a player’s whole career.“You know, these things will happen every day, any day, anywhere.”However, Nunez’ blunder sparked a rocket from Kop boss Arne Slot, who accused his £64million forward of being lazy.Slot fumed: “You can miss a chance but you cannot miss out on work-rate.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS“It is not part of the job of a No 9 to slow down in work-rate. That is something we will talk about.”That blast prompted an immediate reply from Nunez, 25, on X.Sky Sports presenter praised by fans after rarely-seen move in interview with Liverpool matchwinner Darwin NunezHe fumed: “You never see me give up,” before vowing “to give it my all until my last day at Liverpool”.On Slot’s public blast, Rosenthal said: “I’m not here to object to the manager.“But if you’re Nunez, then you know you have only one option — that’s to show what you can do when you’re given the chance.“He doesn’t need to be going on Instagram. My opinion is still that he has the quality.“He will never be a scorer like Mo Salah but Liverpool will probably win the league because they have the luxury of a top striker like him to come off the bench.”Israeli Rosenthal’s own astonishing moment came when he beat Villa’s offside trap, took the ball round the onrushing keeper and had a tap-in from ten yards — only to crash his shot against the bar. Liverpool went on to lose 4-2.But Rosenthal insisted he was unfazed by the incident, adding: “It does not affect me. I’m happy to talk about this whenever. It can happen to anyone. Obviously, if you have the worst miss in the top level, then people will talk about that instead of about a worse one at a lower level.”Ronny Rosenthal produced his horror miss against Aston Villa in 1992Credit: Sky SportsNunez produced his horror miss at Villa Park in mid-weekCredit: Sky SportsNunez arrived at Anfield from Benfica in 2022 but fans remain unconvinced.He has scored 24 goals and produced 13 assists in 86 Premier League appearances.However, his miss provided his doubters with more ammunition as they continue to call for Liverpool to offload him.Rosenthal, though, says the lack of consecutive starts could be one of the things causing issues for Nunez.He believes the 6ft 2in powerhouse still has a huge role to play this season as Slot’s side look to claim Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup glory.The ex-winger said: “He’s not a regular starter but I still think Liverpool need someone like him. Nunez will stay in my opinion unless they find something better — but you know it’s not that easy.“He’s got the quality as a player. He just needs the chance to play more. If you are limited on chances, then obviously it’s much more difficult to be consistent.”But the former title winner added: “It will happen eventually that he will leave Liverpool. It’s difficult to say when.“I still think that if he plays more, he will give more end product and his statistics will improve, in my opinion.”Rosenthal left Anfield himself in 1994 and enjoyed three years at Tottenham before finishing his playing days at Watford.He has since achieved great success as a football consultant based in London.The icon regularly works with some of the biggest clubs on the planet and helped discover Cristiano Ronaldo, along with stars such as Vincent Kompany and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.And he also revealed how he even tried to get a teenage Nunez a move to Europe long before his eventual switch from Penarol in Uruguay to Almeria in Spain six years ago.On spotting him as a kid, Rosenthal added: “Nunez is one of a thousand cases where I found players with potential when they are cheap.READ MORE SUN STORIES“I called him years ago when he played in Uruguay to try to bring him to a better league. He referred me to his agent — but I did try.“He’s one of many players who I can see quicker than football clubs can.” More
