Rio Ferdinand to ex-Sporting boss Amorim: Not rocket science (video) | OneFootball

Rio Ferdinand gave an important suggestion to Ruben Amorim. At a time when the former Sporting coach has been criticized by several notable figures in the recent history of Manchester United - like Wayne Rooney - the former central defender of the Red Devils recommended that the Portuguese coach change his playing style to a 4-2-3-1, instead of his usual 3-4-3.

“If they played in a 4-2-3-1, I think all the players would be in a position where they would feel super comfortable. Two of the three midfielders, probably Casemiro, Ugarte, or Kobbie Mainoo, could play there,” he began by saying on his podcast, Rio Presents.

Then Rio Ferdinand added the players who could occupy the more offensive positions in the Manchester United team: “And then they would have three players up front, any of the quintet Diallo, Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes, Cunha, Mason Mount, and Sesko could play as a striker.”

“All of them can play anywhere in the attack and they would all be happy. I think this is not rocket science. I think probably everyone sees and thinks the same,” concluded the former Manchester United central defender.

It is worth remembering that, Ruben Amorim's Manchester United has three defeats and one draw in the league, with only two wins, at the start of the Premier League. The English League is led by Liverpool with 15 points, who also lost in this round against Crystal Palace.
