Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has warned former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher not to talk about forward Cristiano Ronaldo’s pressing ability again.
Ferdinand urged Carragher to take the argument out of his mouth, adding that he didn’t want to hear it.
According to him, Man United do not look any better with Ronaldo on the bench.
This is coming after Ronaldo scored his 700th career club football goal in Man United’s Premier League 2-1 win over Everton on Sunday.
Speaking on his YouTube channel FIVE, Ferdinand said, “People say he doesn’t press. If he doesn’t press, I will take that argument on the chin and say you are right if other people came in and they looked completely different with the way they press.”
Ferdinand added: “This team looks no better or worse when Ronaldo is playing or not when they are pressing to retrieve the ball, there is no difference. Take that argument out of your mouth, all these people that keep talking about it, Jamie Carragher, you are another one, I don’t want to hear it.”
