Coming live from Old Trafford, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, alongside an army of passionate fans, is putting immense pressure on the Manchester United board to make crucial signings following England’s stunning 2-0 win over Ireland.
The spotlight has fallen on two English stars, Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze, who delivered breathtaking performances during the Euros, and Ferdinand, along with the fans, believes these two could be the “cheat code” that United desperately needs.
Ferdinand didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Manchester United board for not pursuing the dynamic duo this summer.
In an interview after the match, he praised the two England internationals, emphasizing how their electrifying display has highlighted exactly what United is missing in their squad.
“He and Anthony Gordon look electric so far. For me, they are the best in the England team,” Ferdinand remarked. “Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze were the best players on the pitch for England in the 2-0 win over Ireland.
They showed exactly what we’re lacking – natural wingers, and Eze is also an exceptional attacking midfielder.
He gets in behind, causes problems, is dynamic, and provides balance for the team. United needs this signing to be elite.”
The ex-United defender further elaborated on the impact these players could have on Manchester United, describing them as a “cheat code” that could elevate the club’s performance to the next level.
His sentiments were echoed by the fans, who have been clamoring for reinforcements after a rocky start to the season.
They believe that acquiring Gordon and Eze would address the glaring deficiencies in the squad, especially in the attacking department.
“We need to get them by all means next summer. With these two in our team, we would be far better off than where we are now,” one fan passionately stated outside Old Trafford, summing up the collective feeling of the fanbase.
As pressure mounts on the Manchester United hierarchy to act, it remains to be seen whether the club will heed Ferdinand’s call and make a move for the England duo.
The January transfer window could be a pivotal moment for the Red Devils as they seek to turn their season around and return to the upper echelons of European football.
