Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has claimed the club are "struggling to find an identity" under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

He told the Vibe with Five podcast: "It was an embarrassment. I've been there, we got beat 6-1 at home by Man City. But we had an identity to fall back on in a couple of weeks.

"This is the problem for this team, they're struggling to find an identity and who they are.

"These are the questions, when you watch the game, you think 'what are we?'

"Is the manager giving the players the right information? And if so, are the players not taking on the information?

"That's what the manager needs to get to the bottom of because at the moment it looks like a team just thrown together.

"They look like a team you watch and think 'are they coached properly?', 'are they taking in the information?'"
