“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.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
