CurrentReport Blog Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has called for drastic changes at the club, urging manager Ruben Amorim and the ownership to be “brutal” in offloading underperforming players. Ferdinand’s comments follow the club’s decision to part ways with sporting director Dan Ashworth after just five months in the role.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand did not mince words, stating, “I just hope they are this brutal with the s** players that are there… If they have been there too long or are just not good enough, be as brutal with them and get them the f*** out, quick, ASAP.”*
The former Manchester United defender emphasized that decisive action is needed to turn the team around, especially following their disappointing 3-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend, which left the Red Devils languishing in 13th place on the Premier League table.
Ferdinand’s comments highlight growing frustrations among fans and pundits over the team’s performance this season. He also expressed hope that the club’s management would apply the same ruthlessness shown in Ashworth’s dismissal to the playing squad.
Manchester United, under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, now faces significant pressure to rebuild and deliver results as the January transfer window approaches.
