In a podcast, cited by the Daily Mail et Recordhe declared: “You look at him and you think: ‘He still looks pretty confident in the long term, he’s not going to change his ideas in the short term’. And I completely agree. Change and go back to what they were doing before…they weren’t winning. So why go back to what’s best for players? » Ferdinand added: “ We can’t expect Ruben Amorim to go back to the way Manchester United used to play to try and steady the ship. Because it wasn’t a stable boat anyway. »

The former player also highlighted the flaws in the squad, naming Eriksen and Casemiro as “ weak links “. According to him: “ One of the key points of this system is the physical. Eriksen and Casemiro are probably the weak links – which doesn’t help – but I still say that if they could train and Ruben Amorim could implement his ideas, they wouldn’t look so ‘ displaced’. So I don’t think we should just say, ‘Let’s add two more mobile players and everything will improve.’ I think we will always have the same problems. »
