Rio Ferdinand is known for his impeccable history with Manchester United and one of the players who gave the club moments of glory. Although on this occasion, the Englishman wanted to defend Casemiro, who is theoretically the star signing of the “Red Devils”, but who has not been able to count on all the confidence of coach Erik Ten Hag.
It is important to note that the Brazilian left Real Madrid after winning the European Super Cup and landed in Manchester with superstar status, but that in one way or another, he has not been able to add consecutive games as a starter; this being a key point to be criticized by the English press.
Some responsible for generating endless criticism for the Brazilian, were the collaborators of the YouTube program Vibe with FIVE and who received a strong response of Ferdinand who never hesitated to support Casemiro.
“That Casemiro has not shown his quality? Shut up, you’re talking nonsense. Casemiro is getting the leftovers. He was the MVP in the Champions League final a few months ago and that was the fifth Champions League that he won. At Real Madrid, he was the anchor. Here they have given him the leftovers. You cannot judge him”, commented Rio Ferdinand.
“You want to tell me that you are going to buy someone who is considered one of the best, if not the best, holding midfielders and you’re going to say you’re going to buy him, but since he hasn’t trained well, I’m not going to play him. What I am hearing here is blasphemous, it is stupid“, continued the Englishman.
Likewise, it should not be forgotten that the Brazilian was also acquired by Manchester United for a significant sum of money at $ million dollars, so the fans expected him to quickly take charge of leading the midfield.
“Casemiro won five Champions Leagues. He is a fantastic defensive midfielder, if not the best defensive midfielder in the world, and he came to Manchester United. I wonder what kind of impact this situation is having on him. He must be thinking. I’m glad I came to United, but I don’t feel respected here seeing what I’ve done. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t like that”, Ferdinand concluded. especially when the club comes from receiving a thrashing by Manchester City, which could be key for the future of many players this season.
