Rio Ferdinand has suggested that some Manchester United players cannot handle the 'burden' of playing for the club on the heels of their 4-1 Premier League defeat to Newcastle on Sunday.

The drubbing at St James' Park confirmed that Ruben Amorim's side are condemned to the club's worth-ever Premier League finish at the end of the season, regardless of fixtures to come.

United could win a possibly 56 points total come mid-May, but that would leave the team shy of the 58 points they ended on in 2021/22, their worst points total in the competition to date.
