Rio Ferdinand is "still trying to work out" what Manchester United's style of play is under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Although Bruno Fernandes had a late penalty to ensure United shared the points against Aston Villa at the weekend, the midfielder sent his effort well over the bar and that condemned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to lose their unbeaten Premier League record.
That defeat against Aston Villa followed United's early Carabao Cup exit against West Ham in midweek and, while there was tangible optimism surrounding United after Cristiano Ronaldo's return, the mood around the club seemingly turned sour on Saturday.
Naturally, Solskjaer has received scrutiny for United's performances and Ferdinand is among those questioning the Norwegian.
“With Ole’s team, I’m still trying to work out what the traits are with that team," Ferdinand told FIVE's YouTube channel.
"What are the go-to, certain fundamentals that make them click?
"Up until now, it’s always been, for me, maybe relying on a [Marcus] Rashford, or a Bruno or a [Paul] Pogba, to have that moment and I know there are phases of play, but they’re not phases of play where you see it consistently, always happening.
Do you think United have a clear style of play? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
"When Pogba or Bruno get the ball, you see players run long and it [style of play] doesn’t jump out from off the pitch or the screen to me as much as it does with other teams at the moment.
"I’d love to know what are those fundamentals that Ole is working on getting."
