Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has told manager Ruben Amorim and the current owners to be “brutal” and get the “s*** players” out.
Ferdinand was reacting to the club’s decision to part ways with sporting director Dan Ashworth after just five months. He is now calling for similar ruthlessness with the players.
Ferdinand, speaking on his YouTube channel, suggested the Red Devils need to offload several players who are “not good enough.”
He said: “I just hope they are this brutal with the s*** players that are there. If there’s any s*** players there—and as fans we could all name one we don’t think are good enough—if they have been there too long or are just not good enough, be as brutal with them and get them the f***out, quick, ASAP.
“I hope they are like that but it’s different with players with the contacts and the layers. But please be as brutal, please.”
Manchester United’s 3-2 home loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend leaves them in 13th place.
