Rio Ferdinand details 'biggest concern' at Manchester United as Erik ten Hag pressure addressed

Rio Ferdinand's 'biggest concern' at Manchester United this season is that he can't see an obvious route to solving the goalscoring problem.

United arrested their concerning start to the season with a dramatic 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday. Having been 1-0 down as the board showed six minutes of added time, two goals from Scott McTominay snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
