The ex-Man United legend has pinpointed two key names that he believes would bolster the squad and take it to the next level.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has urged his old club to add a couple of key names to their ranks, believing it will take them to the next level.
The Red Devils do not have a lack of options at centre-back, but due to the continuing fitness issues of bothand Jonny Evans, but there is a general consus among the fanbase that there is an uncertainty if either is a long-term solution.The search for a new centre-back may not be too difficult, as one of the best defenders of his generation in Rio Ferdinand has named two players that he thinks United should look to sign in January.
Speaking to Manchester Evening News, Ferdinand said:"The boy at Lens, there’s one there, he’s good,’"The Uruguayan boy at. I’d probably say he’s the standout, but whether he’s gettable or not, I don’t know. I’ve always said this – to be a successful team, you need that foundation of a solid defence and to be able to pick similar players."– they’ve had consistency in their backlines of players featuring, especially in important stages of the season.
"But Martinez has been a huge, huge loss. His personality, his character, his ability on the ball has been exactly what Ten Hag wants and United were at their best last season when those two were playing together."But, again, with every person who falls away and gets injured, there’s an opportunity for someone else and at the moment, Harry Maguire seems to have that shirt. Hopefully that form continues now.
Manchester United's next fixture is on Sunday afternoon, a Manchester derby at Old Trafford against a City team that may not be at their best but are still considered to be levels about this United team.
