Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand continues to advocate for Roberto De Zerbi as the club searches for a permanent manager. Ferdinand has praised De Zerbi's tactical approach and ability to implement systems, comparing him favorably to elite managers like Thomas Tuchel while noting he is more attainable.
De Zerbi recently left Marseille by mutual consent after disagreements with senior players over training intensity and tactical demands. With Michael Carrick currently overseeing first team duties on a caretaker basis, United's hierarchy continues to assess long-term options for the transformative manager role Ferdinand believes De Zerbi could fill.
