Former Manchester United captain and legend, Rio Ferdinand seems to have taken a dig at Jose Mourinho in his latest social media post, as he shared a post saying for the first time in many years, he is going to see a game at the Old Trafford ground and he is not feeling depressed!
Rio Ferdinand could be referring to any of the previous managers who have managed Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson, but given his recent criticisms of Jose Mourinho about how he managed United, it is safe to say that the man who once sang the praises of the Portuguese coach is now condemning the man who won trophies for the Red Devil.
…But why do I feel Rio Ferdinand is feeling this confident due to the many injuries to some of the key players of Paris Saint Germain and not what Jose Mourinho did…I am just saying though…See his post:
“On my way to Old Trafford for tonight & it’s the 1st time in a few yrs I’m going up the motorway not feeling depressed about the goings on at the club both on & off the pitch. Searching for little glimmers of positives to talk about in the studio. Rather than just dissecting performance (which I much prefer), I’m dissecting that & everything else that is wrong with the football club.” he said.
Rio continued with his praise of manager Ole, where he said:
“Ole (and Mick Phelan) were brought in to steady the ship for someone else to come in and take the club forward. But have come in and taken an opportunity & ran with it! They know the club inside out and have the history of the club at the forefront of their thinking every step of the way.”
“What a difference in the atmosphere around our club – a total change, a facelift so to speak.
The players have their swagger back, confidence is swarming the place but also as important, Ole has the staff smiling again. What a turnaround.
The job is far from done but the club now seems to have gotten its mojo back, there is hope again.
I’m looking forward to tonight’s game….just like the old days! PS…it’s all in the detail. A group of men walking into a stadium suited and booted doesn’t guarantee a win but it sure does set the right tone for the football club. Come on @manchesterunited ❤️⚽️ #MUFC#UCL #PSG #Ole”
…Again, Rio must remember that for Manchester United to have a chance of advancing to the next stage, they have to win big as the second leg in Paris would be a different ball game as Liverpool witnessed last season. Also, winning the Champions League seems to be the only sure way of qualifying to next season’s Champions League…and I cannot wait to hear what Rio would say if his team misses out (qualifying) in next season’s Champions League …just saying though…lol
