Rio Ferdinand: My message to Man Utd fans sceptical about Jose Mourinho appointment

RIO FERDINAND has told Manchester United fans that Jose Mourinho can play football that fits with the club’s traditions.


TRUE WINNER: Rio Ferdinand says Jose Mourinho is the right man for Manchester United

The Portuguese manager was today appointed United’s next boss, replacing Louis van Gaal who was sacked on Monday.
United’s drawn out pursuit of the former Chelsea boss had focused on his, at times, negative style of play and record promoting young players.
But Ferdinand believes his first spell in charge at Stamford Bridge shows the attacking football Mourinho can encourage, although admits only time will tell how many academy players are given a chance under him.
He said: “I have heard many say the ‘Mourinho WAY’ is not the Manchester United style of playing football.
“However, the Chelsea team that Jose put together first time round when he entered the Premier League played with wingers and hurt teams with quick attacking play. They had the likes of Robben and Duff on the wings who were direct and quick.
“This is a sign he knows how to get a team playing in a way Manchester United fans can look forward to seeing.
“Another doubt I keep hearing and being asked is, will he keep in with the tradition of the club which is bringing through the young players? For the moment, I can’t answer this, only time will tell.
“One thing I can tell Manchester United fans is that they have got themselves a true winner in all aspects. His CV shows success!”
