'He didn't take his chance... there was no impact': Rio Ferdinand laments Donny van de Beek's lifeless display in Man United's abject defeat at Aston Villa, as Dutchman's struggles go on

Rio Ferdinand has criticised Donny van de Beek for having 'no impact' and 'not taking his chance' during Manchester United's 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.

The 25-year-old, who is growing out of favour at Old Trafford, failed to have much impact on the game after United went two goals down in a disappointing first half showing at Villa Park.

Former Man United centre-back, Ferdinand, took aim at the Dutchman's lifeless performance during the match, with the midfielder failing to take advantage of the opportunity given to him by Erik Ten Hag, after struggling to get game time this season.
