Rio Ferdinand has reiterated his support for Roberto De Zerbi as Manchester United's next permanent manager. The former United defender, who has long admired the Italian coach's work, believes De Zerbi's tactical innovation and ability to get players performing makes him an ideal candidate for the role.
De Zerbi, who recently left Marseille by mutual consent, is currently among the candidates being considered by United's hierarchy. Ferdinand's endorsement comes as Michael Carrick continues to oversee first-team duties while the club searches for a long-term solution.
