Rio Ferdinand Says Manchester United Should Not Have Sold Lukaku
Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand has pointed to Romelu Lukaku as another player the club let go too soon. He said the Red Devils didn’t take full advantage of Lukaku’s strengths while he was at Old Trafford.
United signed the Belgian striker from Everton in 2017 for £75 million. He hit the ground running with 27 goals in his first season, but his second year didn’t quite match the same energy. Lukaku was then sold to Inter Milan, where he rediscovered his form.
After a successful spell in Italy, Chelsea brought him back to the Premier League. However, his time at Stamford Bridge didn’t go as planned. He returned to Italy on two loan stints before finally making a permanent move to Napoli last year. Just last Friday, Lukaku played a key role in Napoli’s Serie A title win, scoring in their 2-0 victory over Cagliari.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand praised the 32-year-old forward, saying, “Lukaku deserves credit. He’s another name on the list of players who left United and went on to shine elsewhere. He’s just won the league again and scored in the title-winning game.”
Ferdinand also criticized how Lukaku was judged in England. “People focus too much on what he isn’t good at,” he said. “Because he’s big and fast, there’s this expectation for him to play a certain way. But his real strength is running into space and taking defenders on.”
He added, “United didn’t build around his style, and we probably gave up on him too soon.” This comes shortly after Ferdinand listed four other players United may have been wrong to let go in recent years.
Former footballer Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on who will come out victorious in the upcoming match between Manchester United and Liverpool.
It can be noted that the match is set to take place on May 3, 2026.
Carragher predicted that Liverpool will win 2–1, but added, “I don’t fully believe it, but I hope it.”
Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.
The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
