Rio Ferdinand calls for ‘long-term thinking’ amid turbulent times at Manchester United

CNN  

CNN — Rio Ferdinand knows first-hand the weight of expectation that comes with donning the iconic red colors of Manchester United. “It’s got to be long-term thinking now,” he told CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies after winning the Player Career Award at the recent Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. “That’s going to take time, so to put a target above that in terms of position and winning things … takes away from all of those four things that need building.” A ‘different beast’ The team in charge of spearheading this renewal project is the combined force of the aforementioned Amorim and the soccer operations arm of the club, INEOS. “In 2025, I hope Manchester United become a positive football club with positive energy around them, and the narrative isn’t always dejected disappointment.” Contrasting fortunes One club that United could take an example from at this moment is historic arch-rival Liverpool. “I always look at it as City winning – ‘That’s a nightmare’ – or Liverpool going to be winning this year, ‘It’s a nightmare.’ … I can suffer that over there a little bit if we’re starting to move and go in the right direction.” With Manchester United not even in the discussion for title contention and local rival City enduring its worst ever spell under Pep Guardiola, current logic and form would dictate the title could be Liverpool’s to lose this season.
