Rio Ferdinand: “United would not win even with Haaland and Mbappé”

Former United defender attacked Red Devils hard after Champions League elimination against Atlético Madrid of Cholo Simeone

One of the most remembered legends in the history of Manchester United is Rio Ferdinand, who appears constantly on BT Sport, a sports television channel for which he comments on some of the Red Devils’ games. On these screens, the former defender, along with another glory like Paul Scholes, harshly criticized the team led by Ralf Rangnick, after their elimination from the Champions League against Atlético Madrid.

“If Manchester United bought Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland this summer, Manchester United would not win the Premier League – Ferdinand thundered -. It doesn’t matter who you bring in, you have to do it from top to bottom. In today’s Manchester United, however, the players look at each other and say: ‘Who will pull a magic trick out of the hat?’ ”.

The Manchester reds now have only the “consolation” of the championship, in which they will try to qualify for the next Champions, given that in mid-March they are already out of all other competitions, including the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.

In addition to the collective performance on the pitch, several players, such as Jadon Sancho, have not lived up to expectations this year. It should be added that heavyweights like Cristiano Ronaldo (first season with zero titles from 2009-2010) and Paul Pogbaespecially him, could leave Old Trafford in June.
