“Man U Are Absolutely Struggling” Rio Ferdinand Talks Relegation Fears
Rio Ferdinand has voiced serious concerns about Manchester United’s struggles this season, even suggesting they might face relegation.
After their 1-0 loss to Tottenham on Sunday, the Red Devils have dropped to 15th place in the Premier League, just 12 points above the relegation zone.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the former United defender, who won six league titles with the club, admitted that he only sees one winnable game left for Erik ten Hag’s men—against Leicester City.
“United are really struggling right now,” Ferdinand said. “Only Wolves and West Ham are between us and the relegation spots.
Someone mentioned we need 11 points to stay up, and honestly, I’m starting to think like that. I looked at the fixture list, and I’m being serious—where are the wins coming from?”
He then listed United’s upcoming games, including tough clashes against Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, and Newcastle.
“The only game where I even think we have a chance— and I’m not even saying a guaranteed win—is Leicester. We’ve beaten them a couple of times already this season, so maybe we can do it again.”
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
