Rio Ferdinand weighs in on Ruben Amorim at Man United: We're not there yet | OneFootball

Rio Ferdinand confessed that Manchester United is still not at the desired level, but there are clear improvements compared to the past. The former central defender of the Red Devils, where he holds legendary status, used his YouTube channel to comment on the work done by Ruben Amorim in the Premier League.

"The first 12 months at Manchester United were full of ups and downs. More downs than ups, you would certainly agree, and obviously, following Erik ten Hag's tenure... He was defined as having a sharp coaching style by some people. I think one of the things he restored was discipline, he showed his teeth," Rio Ferdinand began to explain.

The former central defender of Man United continued: "Obviously, he promoted a dramatic tactical change compared to what we were used to seeing, with Erik ten Hag. He is absolutely committed to the back three, but the system has small details that do not remain the same. It is not a rigid back three."

"We're not there yet, folks, but we can see something being built and something to be optimistic about, which is good because we've been pessimistic for a long time (...) He came in and wanted to immediately impose a change in culture. Discipline was one of the first things he focused on. He spoke publicly about punctuality, respect for the group, etc. I'm not going to start naming players, but there were some that he seemed to isolate and say 'OK, this is how it is...'" Rio Ferdinand continued, regarding the changes implemented by Ruben Amorim.

The former Manchester United captain concluded: "He arrived in the midst of chaos, inherited that culture which he immediately identified needed to be changed. It was a very toxic period with Erik ten Hag. I must say there has been slow progress so far, but we are starting to reap the rewards of the time he has been there."
