Rio Ferdinand says Manchester United ‘chokers’ have blown title chance
Rio Ferdinand claims Manchester United’s players have ‘choked’ in the title race and blown their chances of winning the Premier League for the first time in eight years.
The Red Devils were top of the table just a few weeks ago but have lost ground recently and slipped to second place after picking up just five points from the last 12 available.
They threw away a two-goal lead against Everton on Saturday and rivals Manchester City are now five points clear with a game in hand, with Ferdinand fearing United’s title charge is now dead in the water.
‘You can’t defend it,’ the former Manchester United man said on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE. ‘Man United were sitting pretty at the top of the league.
‘You see the league table, you look at the results, you get excited. When you put yourself in that position, Man United have to strike.
‘When there’s an opportunity you’ve got to go. The problem is we’ve let this opportunity slip through our hands.
‘You can see Man City with their experience, they’ve smelt blood, they’ve put their heads down, they’ve gone.
‘But Man United have stuttered, we’ve got the choke going in and out, haven’t got it quite working properly.
‘We have choked, it’s simple as that.
‘I’d put us out of the title challenge unless we go on a run and we change our habits and our lack of consistency.
‘But I haven’t seen enough to suggest we can go on a 10, 15-game winning streak. We’re tripping ourselves up all the time.’
