Ferdinand Excludes De Bruyne and Lampard in His Top Three Premier League Midfielders
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has named his top three Premier League midfielders of all time, and surprisingly, Kevin De Bruyne and Frank Lampard didn’t make the cut.
Speaking on his YouTube show, Rio Ferdinand Presents, the former defender said no one should rate De Bruyne above Steven Gerrard. “De Bruyne’s not better than Gerrard on any day of the week,” he said.
Ferdinand picked Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, and Roy Keane as his ultimate midfield trio, leaving out big names like Patrick Vieira, Lampard, and De Bruyne, who he said came close but didn’t quite make it.
He described those six as his “Holy Grail midfielders,” but made it clear that Gerrard, Scholes, and Keane stood out the most for him.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
