MANCHESTER – legend footballer Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand, just laughed when he heard the news that said his former club was looking for a replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the coaching chair. Ferdy – Ferdinand’s nickname – believes the management will always provide support to Solskjaer, the coach they appointed as permanent tactician in March 2019.
Solskjaer’s name is strongly linked to being fired by Man United on Thursday, November 5, 2020, WIB. On that date, Man United unexpectedly fell 1-2 from Istanbul Basaksehir in the third matchday of Group H of the 2020-2021 Champions League.
