A few days ago, Ferdinand talked about the focus of Manchester United's first round of Premier League match against the Gunners in his own program "Rio Ferdinand Presents", and he focused on Baindel's conced.

Ferdinand said: "What I want to say is that it was a cheap throw-in. We gave one in vain. The goalkeeper had to do better. Baindel would definitely be very disappointed because it was his opportunity."

"The head coach chose him and trusted him, and he actually had only one real test in his own penalty area, but he didn't pass. We saw in the second half, Raya attacked under pressure from De Rigt, and he handled it very well."

"This is the difference between the top stage The point is that a small mistake can make you lose the game and lose three points. Actually, he is a good person. I have met him several times and talked about it. He is indeed a hard-working person, but in this case, football is ruthless. He will be judged hugely because of this mistake. This is the situation of the goalkeeper. Once you make a mistake, it may sometimes become your 'fatal weakness'. "

However, after experiencing the downturn last season, Ferdinand believes that Manchester United still has many things to be optimistic about.

"Apart from that mistake and that goal concealed, I think everything is worth looking at positively. Compared to last season, I saw a lot of positive things. Did you know? Manchester United had 20 shots against Arsenal in this game. The last time Manchester United scored 20 shots against Arsenal was the 8-2 match between Old Trafford in 2011. That would tell the story."

"Of course we didn't score, but I want to see opportunities. I would rather the team create opportunities but not be able to grasp them, rather than not creating opportunities at all, and look lifeless in the frontcourt."
