Rio Ferdinand has revealed the Manchester United squad are “starting to click” after having a conversation with coach Mike Phelan.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side started the season poorly but have seen an upswing in form since the arival of playmaker Bruno Fernandes, who’s hit the ground running since his move from Sporting in January.
And Ferdinand opened up on a chat he had with United assistant boss Phelan, who claimed the atmosphere in the dressing room is improving at Old Trafford.
“Listen, it’s improved,” Ferdinand told BT Sport. “I was speaking to Mike Phelan, one of the coaching staff at Manchester United earlier, things are starting to click.
“They’re starting to understand things and they’ve understood as a group that it wasn’t going to be overnight where things are going to start working out.
“It’s going to take time, implement things into the team, into individuals but they’ve got a run of games that are going to be testing but I think this team are turning the corner but it’s a slow process.
“It’s not something where you’ve gone ‘Right, immediately it’s a big change and there we are, Man United are back amongst it vying for trophies’.
“This is a slow burn after a few years of kind of topsy-turviness.”
