Rio Ferdinand Criticizes Maguire as Man United Struggles in Defense
Rio Ferdinand was left stunned by Manchester United’s shaky defense in their 2-2 draw against Everton on Saturday. The former Red Devils defender couldn’t believe how vulnerable they looked, especially in the first half at Goodison Park.
One of the main culprits in Ferdinand’s eyes was Harry Maguire, whose sluggish reactions played a role in Everton’s second goal. Abdoulaye Doucoure capitalized on Maguire’s hesitation, leaving Ferdinand frustrated as he analyzed the game at half-time.
“You cannot just stand there. You have to run back towards your own goal. I couldn’t understand that at all,” Ferdinand said.
“I know pace isn’t part of his game, but he had a second chance to deal with it and still didn’t. Look at Doucoure—he reacted faster, while Maguire just waited for it. An experienced center-back shouldn’t be that passive.”
Despite fighting back with goals from Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes, United’s defensive lapses kept them from securing all three points. The result leaves them sitting 15th in the Premier League table.
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
