In the latest episode of Rio Ferdinand Presents, shared on the official X account , the former Manchester United captain dissected how Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo caused chaos for Liverpool's defence during the 2-1 victory at Anfield. As reported by Softfootball, the win-sealed by a late Harry Maguire header -marked United's third straight league triumph under Ruben Amorim, showcasing a new attacking sharpness led by Cunha and Mbeumo.
Ferdinand highlighted how both forwards drifted into half-spaces, forcing Liverpool's centre-backs into uncomfortable positions and breaking their defensive rhythm. Their constant interchanging made it difficult for Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate to decide whether to track tightly or hold their line.
Mbeumo, who Softfootball reported to be happy to get himself a brace in a 4-2 win against Brighton , has been electric since joining United, combining pace, precision, and positional fluidity that perfectly complements Cunha's creative instincts.
