Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has sent a message to the Red Devils players after their ‘absolute massacre’ at Anfield as they lost 7-0 to Liverpool in Sunday’s Premier League tie.

Liverpool thrashed Manchester United at home, thanks to goals from Roberto Frimino, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah.

But Ferdinand wants Erik ten Hag’s side to get back to work as soon as possible ahead of their next Premier League tie with Southampton next weekend after the heavy defeat at Liverpool.

“We have been pulverized,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.

“That was a massacre." An absolute massacre at Anfield That is all you can call it. "The players will be feeling embarrassed.”

He added: “Ten Hag, man... If I were him, the team would know I would be upset, but one of the main points would be, don’t let this derail your season now.

“You come back tomorrow, you get back to work, you look at what went wrong, and then you go to Southampton at Old Trafford.”
