Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand backs criticized Ronaldo for joining Al-Nasr
Former England and Manchester United international Rio Ferdinand has backed Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been criticized after joining Al-Nasr. His words are quoted by the Daily Mail with a link to the Vibe with FIVE podcast.
“Let the man go and live. Let him go there and enjoy it. This is a new adventure, he takes his family with him to experience a new culture, ”said the Manchester United legend. He added that the transfer of Ronaldo to a Saudi club should be treated in the same way as the transfer of David Beckham or Wayne Rooney to clubs from the United States. Ferdinand called such signings a great way to finish a career and make money.
