Ronaldo has only started one Premier League match this season – a 4-0 hammering at Brentford – after trying and failing to leave Old Trafford during the summer. The 37-year-old Portugal legend is football’s all-time leading goalscorer, but questions linger over his place in Ten Hag’s team.And Ferdinand said he had no idea about the WhatsApp group Carragher mentioned. “Leave off lad, I want this same energy with Roy Keane when you’re next in the studio ffs. Stop getting bullied.”
Then, to show, there was no malice, Carragher and Neville made light of the exchange as Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football ended where it was mentioned that Keane could feature in seven days time. Neville, who played alongside Ferdinand and Keane, joked: “You’ll get bullied again,” to Carragher, who replied: “He wants to get in that Whatsapp group Rio!”Advertisement
