Ferdinand Reacts to Shaw’s Bold Comments…

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand says Luke Shaw is shaking things up by backing Ruben Amorim’s decision to kick some players out of the first-team squad. Picture this—Amorim strolling into Old Trafford like a cowboy in the Wild West, with a badge that says ‘Straggler Sheriff.’ The ‘Bomb Squad’, including names like Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, had to pack their bags. Rashford’s now living it up in Barcelona, and the rest were left out of the pre-season U.S. tour, probably having more time to work on their sun tans than tactics.

On Ferdinand’s podcast, he joked that the next team meeting would feel like a soap opera showdown. “I think I’d have had something to say if I thought it was about me,” he admits, probably imagining some dramatic music playing in the background. The Red Devils had their worst finish ever last season; a comedy of errors that saw them miss out on winning anything significant. This season, though, they’re juggling new signings and dreaming of making it big again, despite some difficult matches against top clubs on the horizon.
