EPL: Ferdinand names only team Man Utd can beat in remaining fixtures this season
Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand has named the only game he is confident the Red Devils will win amid fears they could get relegated this season.
Man United dropped to 15th position in the Premier League table at the weekend.
This follows their Premier League 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The result leaves Ruben Amorim’s side with 12 points above the dreaded relegation zone.
However, Ferdinand, who lifted six Premier League titles during his time at Man United, admitted that it is only Leicester City Amorim’s men can beat in their remaining fixtures for the season.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand went through Manchester United’s upcoming fixtures.
He said: “Manchester United are absolutely struggling at the moment,’ the ex-England defender said. ‘Only Wolves and West Ham separate my club from the relegation places. Do you realize we’re that close?
“Someone said we need 11 points just to stay up and I’m starting to think like that. I’ve got the fixture list here and I’m looking at the game and I’m being serious here. Go through it.
“Everton away, Ipswich at home, Arsenal, Forest away, Man City, Newcastle away, Wolves, Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Leicester.
“The only place I potentially see us getting anything – and I’m not even saying a win – is Leicester. We’ve slapped up Leicester a couple of times already this season so we’ve got their number.
“We just looked at the fixture list and I’m not seeing outright wins, I’m not looking at it thinking there’s three points here and there’s three points there. That’s the problem.”
