The fall of Manchester United has reached a point on which the contacts of Rio Ferdinand do not even bother to send him with a stick after their last embarrassing result
The legend Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United has claimed that losses have become so regular for the Red Devils that he does not even receive phone calls or messages after they have dropped points more. United has passed a terrible performance when they lost 2-0 to West Ham United in Old Trafford last Sunday.
The firing of Erik ten Hag and the subsequent appointment of Ruben Amorim in November was hoped to be a turning point for the club. With Amorim at the helm, however, the victories of the United are lean, in total only six in 26 games with the most recent arrival since the Leicester City relegated in March.
Ferdinand has now explained how United's consistent bad run in the competition has become such a formality that people outside the club have become indifferent to the triple European cup winners. Asked how he thinks about the current situation in Old Trafford by TNT Sports Mexico, the 46-year-old said: “The same as the manager, it has been a terrible season.
“Man United, to be 17th, is embarrassing. It is difficult, I don't even get that people call me or text me as a man united loses. It's normal. That's how it feels.
“It is difficult, especially me, I am an expert in the media, I am over, I don't even get that people get the Mickey out of me more. It's incredible.” On his own podcast, Rio Ferdinand, the former defender theoretized, presents that Amroim could perform a significant commotion of the team.
“I think he looks around the dressing room and thinks:” If I could wave a magic wand, at least 50 percent of this team would not be here in the next five years. ” Because they are not good enough and they are not right for the way he wants to play, “Ferdinand argued.
“I look at him and think that, at least, he needs two good windows of the removal of the person he does not need, but also to catch up with players he really needs.
“He coaches the team to understand what he wants, which has led to consistently achieving terrible results in the Premier League.” Ferdinand is not the only United legend who calls for a complete makeover of the team, whereby Gary Neville warns that it will not be easy to return to winning ways so quickly.
Neville said about the debate about overlapping fan: “You had to go in eight to 10 players. They have to pay to get them out.”
United is facing Chelsea on Friday evening before they complete their domestic season against Aston Villa on Old Trafford a week on Sunday. They still have to reach 40 points and can even end in the 17th just outside the relegation places.
Despite the misery, United has a Europa League final on the horizon and an enormous opportunity to save their season with a way to the Champions League when they will be confronted with fellow thrusts Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao next Wednesday.
