'I'm not going to a Man United game looking through my fingers anymore': Rio Ferdinand credits Erik ten Hag for rebuilding confidence and discipline at Old Trafford as his old club gear up for Man City showdown

Rio Ferdinand is happy he no longer has to watch Manchester United games through his fingers as Erik ten Hag's side prepare for Saturday's Old Trafford derby.

The former United defender admits that some of the 'crazy s***' he has witnessed at his old club in recent years has left him on edge.

But Ferdinand has seen enough improvement under Ten Hag to give him hope that United have a chance of beating Manchester City in the 189th derby in front of the BT Sport cameras on Saturday lunchtime.
