Rio Ferdinand: Ruben Amorim lacks consistency at Man United | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim managed to return to winning ways at the helm of Manchester United last Saturday, with a 2-1 victory against Chelsea, with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. However, Rio Ferdinand once again made some criticisms of the former Sporting coach.

"I look at the teams that win, whether it's mine or, for example, the old Arsenal teams with Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Sol Campbell, etc. Or John Terry, [Ricardo] Carvalho, and William Gallas [at Chelsea]. Now, there's [Virgil] Van Dijk and [Ibrahima] Konaté [at Liverpool]. The same center-backs play every week. There is consistency in team selection with that pairing in defense," he began by stating on his YouTube channel, 'Rio Ferdinand Presents'.

"Paris Saint-Germain always plays with the same two center-backs [Marquinhos and Willian Pacho], they went to the Champions League and 'bang', they won the trophy. The consistency of players in that area of the field gives you a better chance of winning, and these constant changes... It seems like madness to me. I wouldn't like it if I were playing," he added.

When asked about the difficulties caused by Amorim's changes in the defensive trio, Ferdinand did not hesitate: "It's hard to catch the speed of the game, the rhythm of the game. After the first, second, and third run, you're holding on to whatever you can. Your lungs are on the floor, bright red. Entering a game is difficult, and they just try to catch that speed and rhythm of the game, which is tough."

Manchester United will return to the field next Saturday, September 27th. The Red Devils will travel to Brentford for the sixth round of the Premier League, with the match starting at 12:00 PM. Ruben Amorim knows he is 'obliged' to win to continue leading the Old Trafford team's fortunes.
