The Red Devils weren&#8217;t convincing again but clinched three points at Craven Cottage with a last-gasp moment of magic by Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n<p>United sent the vocal travelling fans home happy after a nightmare week as Old Trafford witnessed back-to-back 3-0 defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle United.<\/p>\n<p>But Ten Hag&#8217;s side, still missing a number of key players, weren&#8217;t at their best, and the result will merely paper over the cracks showing in the Dutchman&#8217;s reign.<\/p>\n<p>After full-time, Ferdinand approached Ten Hag about concerns about his lack of playstyle at United compared to the likes of Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur, Unai Emery at Aston Villa and Roberto De Zerbi at Brighton and Hove Albion.<\/p>\n<p>But the United boss wasn&#8217;t having any of it, reputing Ferdinand&#8217;s suggestion with a straight-faced reply, pointing him in the direction of his successful first season in England.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With all respect [to Rio Ferdinand], didn&#8217;t you see my style of play last season?&#8221; Ten Hag rapidly responded.<\/p>\n<p>Ferdinand then doubled down, clarifying he meant this season rather than the Dutchman&#8217;s maiden campaign in the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our Man Utd WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Red Devils news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd star Antony accused of committing &#8216;unforgivable&#8217; offence vs Fulham[QUOTES] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-boss-Erik-ten-Hag-bit-back-at-Rio-Ferdinand-5049509.jpg?r=1699111434590\"><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag hit back: &#8220;This season, no, not quite, but people should know why.
