Rio Ferdinand
September 2025
Rio Ferdinand supported Manchester United’s decision to loan Andre Onana to Trabzonspor, saying clearing underperforming players is vital. He praised football director Omar Berrada for ensuring the club no longer keeps players who are not contributing to the team. Ferdinand said United suffered for years by retaining unsuitable players due to financial mismanagement. He labelled Onana part of that cycle and welcomed his departure, believing the club must move on from individuals who fail to meet performance standards.
