Daily MailRio Ferdinand has admitted he was wrong about how far Manchester United are behind Manchester City, reassessing his views on his former team after their 6-3 loss in Sunday's derby. Rio Ferdinand has admitted there is a significant gap between Man City and Man United Initially, less than 40 minutes into the match, Ferdinand tweeted: 'My phone is pinging right off.For all the wrong reasons ffs. Ferdinand took to Twitter to verbalise what a lot of Manchester United fans felt in the first half While the second half saw United get three goals, through a fine Antony goal and an Anthony Martial brace, they were ultimately undone by the combined brilliance of Haaland and Foden. Ferdinand said Erling Haaland had 'no respect' for centre-backs with his goalscoring record Norway's Haaland scored a hat-trick for his third league game in a row at the Etihad Stadium Some fans in the stadium saw enough in the opening exchanges to leave just before half-time, clearly sharing the same frustration that Ferdinand had on Twitter.
