In a bold prediction, Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand has expressed confidence in his former club’s ability to clinch a spot in the Premier League’s top four this season. Despite currently trailing behind in seventh place, the Red Devils are only six points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City.
Erik ten Hag’s squad has encountered setbacks this season, enduring defeats in eight matches, including recent setbacks against West Ham and Bournemouth. Nonetheless, Ferdinand remains resolute in his belief that United will ascend to the top four.
During a TNT broadcast, Ferdinand asserted, “Who said sneak in? I didn’t say sneak in. United will be there.” With unwavering faith in the team, the former defender exudes optimism for their performance in the upcoming matches.
United’s next challenge takes them to face Nottingham Forest in the late kick-off on Saturday. As they strive to realize Ferdinand’s prophecy, all eyes are on their journey towards a coveted top four finish in the EPL.
