After Anthony Gordon's deflected strike buried the Red Devils at Goodison Park, Ralf Rangnick's side had won only one of their last seven games in all competitions. United are expected to miss out on Champions League football next season, according to Ferdinand. In the midst of the uncertainty at the club, he also insisted that the more experienced players in the squad must lead the younger players in blocking out the noise. United has yet to appoint a permanent manager to take over from Ralf Rangnick. 'Uncertainty isn't nice at any level of a football club, but the magnitude of a club like Man United, the status, you're expected to be a lot more organized and have a manager in there,' Ferdinand told BT Sport. 'Interim manager wasn't in the plan, but we're where we are, and you've got to deal with it.' Manchester United must continue and produce results.' The players must separate what happens off the field from what happens on the field; we played, and you don't really care about what happens off the field. 'When I was there, there was some fuss around the Glaziers, but that's a secondary matter; you don't get involved in that.' 'You have to keep your mind off of that; I believe Marcus will learn and be able to do it over time, but what I'm saying is that we, as players, and the more experienced players, must take the lead.' 'There are no excuses,' the manager remarked. We have a lot of work to do, and a Champions League position and spot are on the line.' Former Everton midfielder Joleon Lescott, on the other hand, believes interim manager Ralf Rangnick must accept responsibility for his team's poor play. 'I still think he needs to take some type of responsibility, more than he is letting on, because when I watch United, I don't recognize how they want to score or how they're trying to play, even defensively, nothing looks like it's by design,' Lescott added. 'It appears that we should get some guys out there and see if anyone can make a difference.' That can't possibly be true.' Ferdinand said that the absence of identity at Old Trafford drove former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer out, but added that Rangnick's team still looked lost. That is why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left,' he explained. 'It was said that there is no playing style, no philosophy, and no identity.' 'There's something about the way they attack that makes you think, and that's the way they play.' 'I wouldn't be able to tell you that's how Man United plays; there's a framework and a style of play that you see with the best teams.' It's just not there right now. To be honest, they appear to be a little lost.'
