Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has voiced his concerns about the club’s latest striker signing, questioning whether the new forward can live up to expectations. His comments come as United’s transfer strategy — particularly up front — faces increasing scrutiny.
Ferdinand has long emphasized the need for United to bring in proven goal-scorers, citing players like Victor Osimhen as ideal examples. He believes the club should aim higher to remain competitive.
His latest criticism draws a comparison with Rasmus Højlund, who arrived from Atalanta but has struggled to consistently adapt to the Premier League. While Højlund has shown potential, his lack of goals remains a concern. Ferdinand fears the new striker could face similar challenges, adding to United’s offensive woes.
Reactions among fans are mixed. Some agree with Ferdinand, calling for more ambitious signings, while others remain optimistic that the new addition could be a turning point.
With the summer transfer window fast approaching, the pressure is on Manchester United’s management to make the right moves — both to satisfy fans and meet the high expectations of club legends like Ferdinand.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to unfold.
