“He Needs Players Who Can Match His Style” – Ferdinand on Amorim’s Man U
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes four players might struggle to fit into Ruben Amorim’s tactical approach.
Ferdinand pointed out that Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Rasmus Hojlund may not have the level of dynamism and athleticism needed for Amorim’s system at United.
Speaking after Man United’s 3-2 win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League, Ferdinand shared his thoughts on TNT Sports.
“I watched Sporting a few times, especially in Europe. They were an athletic, dynamic team,” he said. “That was one of the key qualities of that squad, and it played a big role in their success.
“But this United team isn’t built like that. They have other strengths, but when it comes to being physically dominant or outworking opponents, that’s not their strong suit.”
When asked if Zirkzee would fit into Amorim’s system, Ferdinand was doubtful. “No… De Ligt, Maguire, Hojlund – that’s not their game,” he added.
He emphasized that Amorim would need to find players who not only understand his tactical vision but also have the physical attributes to execute it effectively.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
