Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has insisted that midfielders, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes need someone to be ‘screaming’ at them in matches.
Ferdinand believes Pogba and Fernandes need someone to hold them to account when they take their eye off the ball.
He said this ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League tie with Brighton on Tuesday night.
Speaking on his Vibe with Five podcast, Ferdinand said: “What I think Pogba needs and Bruno Fernandes needs.
They need a Sergeant Major in that team that when they give it away or get a bit lax on the ball or when they are out of position, a step short where they should be, they need someone in and around them screaming, drilling them.
“They haven’t got that player.”
He added, “individual mistakes or bad decision making on individual parts is what’s killing the team at the moment, whether it’s missing a chance, the final ball delivery, defending a situation… individuals are making mistakes in their areas.”
