£600m pounds spent on players at Old Trafford are all bunch of Jokes - Rio Ferdinand.

Manchester United just keep on falling and it won't be long until they hit rock bottom.


Wednesday night's 2-0 defeat at home to Burnley seems to have reached a boiling point. The fans inside Old Trafford turned toxic.

Most left before the 85-minute and those that stayed were booing the team off the pitch at full-time.

It's a far cry from what we saw when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer first took over 13 months ago and the success under Sir Alex Ferguson
seems a lifetime ago.

United supporters are getting sick - not just of the manager - but of those higher than him.

Even club legend Rio Ferdinand made a passionate statement at full-time, hitting out at the board for poor recruitment and embarrassing work over the last seven years.

"£600m spent on a squad. On what? I don't see it out there," Ferdinand said on BT Sport.

"The recruitment, what has been bought? There's nothing down there that suggests to me it's laying down the foundations for the future.

"I'm sitting up here, if I'm honest, I'm embarrassed. It's embarrassing to be here, the way that the team is. Not just how the team performed but what's coming next. I don't see a pathway.

"I don't see targets being set. I don't see it. Put today's result to one side, I'm talking recruitment and building the squad.

"Money has been spent willy-nilly the last seven years. What's to show for it here? I don't see what's there. You can't defend this."

Ferdinand's most damning assessment came through suggesting that young football fans won't want to support United anymore.
