Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has offered advice to young talent Kobbie Mainoo, urging him to emulate the consistency displayed by England’s Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden.
Mainoo, 18, has been a regular feature in Manchester United’s first team since November, impressing as a composed presence in central midfield under manager Erik ten Hag’s guidance.
Ferdinand emphasized the importance of maintaining a high level of performance, pointing to Saka and Foden as prime examples of consistency. He highlighted that these players consistently demonstrate their abilities, showcasing a sustained high level of performance.
Speaking to FIVE, Ferdinand stressed the need for Mainoo to aspire to the same level of consistency displayed by Saka and Foden, rather than aiming for temporary success.
Ferdinand’s guidance underscores the value of steady performance and long-term development in the world of professional football.
