Rio Ferdinand Rates United’s Transfer Moves…

Former Manchester United titan Rio Ferdinand has given a hearty nod to the club’s summer transfer hustle, rating it an impressive eight out of ten! In a twist as shocking as a cat becoming mayor, Ferdinand praised the club’s ability to offload players rather than their new arrivals. Gone are the days of United’s “bomb squad”—members like Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho have all bid adieu to Old Trafford. Along with a few new faces, including goalkeeper Senne Lammens, Ferdinand thinks selling was the secret sauce in United’s successful recipe this transfer window.

Speaking on his show, Rio Ferdinand Presents, the ex-England defender highlighted the importance of reducing the squad’s potential drama factor, rating the window an almost exclusive eight just for that! While Garnacho makes his way to Chelsea and Rashford finds a temporary home at Barcelona, United has waved goodbye to several players like they were sending off pigeons in a park. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho, influenced by Rashford’s delightful Aston Villa stint last season, is now calling Villa Park home. Oh, and by the way, a move for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez didn’t hatch, leaving us to wonder if he was too busy perfecting his goalie dance moves for future celebrations.
