Manchester United’s club icon Rio Ferdinand is tearing up his former club. The culture is catastrophic and equal to that of a youth club.
United club culture like that of a youth team? Rio Ferdinand publicly defends Raphael Varane. The French central defender struggled in his first year at Manchester United – but Ferdinand is certain: it’s the club’s fault, not the player’s. Because ManUnited’s club culture is similar to that of a youth team.
Short, compact, clear
Conditions at United are catastrophic: For Varane, who switched from 14-time Champions League winner Real Madrid to United in 2021, the switch must have been a feat of strength: “He came from a functioning team that plays at the highest level, in which all players constantly perform at their best – at a club that has no trust, no leadership and no structure,” says Ferdinand on his YouTube channel “Vibe with Five”.
