Rio Ferdinand, not Cristiano Ronaldo is MUFC’s best transfer business in recent times, John O’Shea has said. He recently revealed that even if it is quite close between both players, Ferdinand delivered too many consistent performances week in week out.
According to him, both of them are absolute legends of the game, but Rio edges it when it comes to having the right impact at the club.
He added that even if Bruno Fernandes has been exceptional since he was signed, he still has a long way to go to reach Scholes’ level.
His words, “I’d have to edge it to Rio.
“In my time, in terms of how consistent he performed. He provided such a solid foundation for the team. He was a great lad as well.
“When he joined he really settled in well, he knew a lot of the players from England. He fitted in well at the time and proved to be a very good signing. People mentioned the price tag a lot but he provided very good value.”
“Yeah, it’s close.
“You are talking about two amazing players but just at the time, what was needed and the impact he made overall at the club, for me Rio just edges it.”
On Bruno Fernandes and Scholes, “For me he still has a long way to go to be better than Paul. To be mentioned in that level already goes to show the impact that Bruno Fernandes has had. He’s been incredible.”
