Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has criticized the club’s summer signing Joshua Zirkzee for his decision to pass the ball to Harry Maguire in the final moments of their dramatic 2-2 draw against Liverpool on Sunday.

Ferdinand believes Zirkzee should have taken matters into his own hands and attempted to score the game-winning goal himself, rather than looking for a pass to Maguire.

Speaking on the “Rio Ferdinand Presents” podcast, Ferdinand didn’t hold back in expressing his frustration.

He said, “After all of that, I would have gone into the changing room and said, ‘What kind of pass was that? We could’ve won the game.’”

He added, “Zirkzee is clearly lacking in confidence, but you have to make the right decision in those moments.

Former Tottenham striker Ahmed ‘Mido’ Hossam has opened up on why Cristiano Ronaldo struggles with coaches. Mido believes Ronaldo’s biggest issue is that his strong personality tends to overshadow the coaches he works with, making it hard for managers to lead effectively. He contrasted Ronaldo with Karim Benzema, saying Benzema respects the coach’s authority and understands his role, which makes working with him smoother.

Ronaldo, known for being outspoken on and off the pitch, famously clashed with Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag during their time together. Now at Al-Nassr, Ronaldo’s future is uncertain after hinting he may leave the Saudi league.

Mido added that many top coaches would hesitate to work with Ronaldo, pointing out that even Inter Milan’s Simone Inzaghi wouldn’t want to manage Al-Nassr while Ronaldo is there. He also noted that Ronaldo only joined Al-Nassr after European clubs stopped showing interest, highlighting the challenges the 40-year-old faces in the final stages of his career.

Al-Hilal are making a bold move to sign Victor Osimhen with a huge offer lined up ahead of the summer transfer window. According to FootMercato, the Saudi giants are ready to put €120 million on the table for a three-year deal in a bid to bring the Nigerian striker to Riyadh. They want Osimhen in their squad ahead of the Club World Cup set to kick off next month, hoping his presence will boost their chances after missing out on the Saudi Pro League title to Al-Ittihad.

Osimhen recently wrapped up an impressive season at Galatasaray, where he was on loan from Napoli. He found the back of the net 36 times in 40 appearances across all competitions, catching the eye of top European clubs. Al-Hilal know they’ll face stiff competition but are pulling out all the stops to land the 26-year-old, who could be key to their world-stage ambitions.
