Following along with Louis Van Gaal's constant criticism towards him, Rio Ferdinand also had some things to say about the possible new signing of Jose Mourinho. Now that we already know that Manchester United won't be playing the Champions League next season, it's only fitting to think about a suitable replacement. and who better than one of the world's best managers who is actually unemployed at the moment. For Rio Ferdinand, bringing Mou to replace Van Gaal is a no brainer.
He spoke at BBC Radio 5live, and he delivered a few gems about the subject: "Listen, if the club decide Louis van Gaal isn't the man anymore and Jose Mourinho is in the market, he has to be considered. He's a top manager, someone who's got great experience, he's a born winner. So for him to be in the market and not interested in him I don't think that's wise."
But for Ferdinand, the obvious choice to keep the United young talents playing, is none other than Ryan Giggs, who already said that he will step down from the club if Mourinho is appointed: "You've got Ryan Giggs sitting at the club. Is he going to get a chance? It's been mooted that he's sat there getting experience so we'll see what for? Where did Pep Guardiola manage before Barcelona? Pep is the most successful manager in recent years, learnt his trade at Barcelona and the teams below.
"He didn't have the experience of another club somewhere and getting his wings, he did it within the club, knew the club's DNA and what it took win in that environment. Who says Ryan Giggs can't be that guy for Manchester United."
