Rio Ferdinand urges Erik ten Hag to 'throw the kids in' for Liverpool clash because Manchester United's under-performing stars 'don't deserve the shirt'

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has revealed the three youngsters he believes should be given a chance by Erik ten Hag after his disastrous start to his tenure at Old Trafford.

The 43-year-old believes Ten Hag should give more game time to trio Zidane Iqbal, Charlie Savage and James Garner, as United look to bounce back from consecutive defeats, including Saturday's shock 4-0 result at Brentford.

United now sit bottom of the league with -5 goal difference after two games, and Ferdinand told his Vibe With Five podcast that he believes it is now time for Ten Hag to send a message to his senior players.
