Rio Ferdinand has reiterated his admiration for Roberto De Zerbi, placing the Italian at the center of Manchester United's managerial search. The former United defender praised De Zerbi's tactical approach and ability to get players working effectively, comparing him favorably to Thomas Tuchel while noting he's more attainable.
De Zerbi, who recently departed Marseille by mutual consent following disagreements with players over training intensity, now sits within reach for United as they continue their search for a permanent manager to replace the caretaking role of Michael Carrick.
