Champions League: Rio Ferdinand reveals why Man Utd may not win trophy

Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has said inexperience could stop the Red Devils from winning the Champions League this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brought in Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane this summer, as he seeks to win his first silverware at Old Trafford.

However, the core of the squad have not won any silverware since the Europa League final victory in 2017.

In the meantime, Liverpool and Chelsea have won both the Premier League and Champions League while City were in last season's final and stormed to their third league title in four years under Pep Guardiola.

"I think Man United's not a problem, but where they're behind the other three English teams, is the experience of winning things.

"All the other three English teams have won things, whether it be the Champions League or the Premier League. Man United have yet to do that as this group.

"That's where they are lacking, and that's where they've got to play catch up and they've got to do that this season. The transfer window for them has been impeccable, but that's got to translate into trophies," Ferdinand told BT Sport.
