Fans debate merits of Rio Ferdinand getting Man Utd sporting director job

I’m having Rio Ferdinand all day tbh he wants to play the right way & knows what real ballers look like! Successful businessman & loves the club just as much as these so called legends that are always chatting shit about our players! Anything is better than Mr Bean atm! 🤣🔴⚪️⚫️

After insulting and talking shit about Jose Mourinho.. Rio Ferdinand wants to be rewarded by the glazers by being appointed as the Director of football for Man utd.

Talk about lack of experience from the board, the CEO, to the DOF, the manager and the players.
Only at Man Utd..

I know some of our fans are not for having Rio Ferdinand as director of football, But look what's going on at Ajax

This Rio Ferdinand news has to be a joke. The first criteria for a DOF role is strategic thinking.I can find 599,999,999 fans out of United's acclaimed 600m fans smarter than him.This is a person who celebrated the weakening of his team-Fellaini's sale-on TV cos "United Way. SMH.

In the past week, we’ve had rumours that Mike Phelan will become our technical director. Then, we had rumours that Darren Fletcher will organise the recruitment. Now, we’ve got rumours that Rio Ferdinand will be our new DOF. What’s next, Bebe for chief scout?

Rio Ferdinand to oversee transfers?

Glorious. Let's hope he sticks to the transfer philosophy he thought #nufc should have. https://t.co/NsfT2gSoPU

Rio Ferdinand wouldn’t be a bad shout in terms of being a director of football at United

Reports of Rio Ferdinand being United's new Sporting Director! He's a decent pundit and ex World Class Defender but come on…..We're Manchester United. The old boys job for the boys nonsense needs to stop. Go and get the best who are qualified to do the job for God's sake
