Rio Ferdinand has given a brief insight into what he has been told by people at Manchester City about the departure of Omar Berrada and how they expect him to fare at Manchester United.
“Just before he [Stephen Howson] starts, I spoke to some guys who are at City and they can’t believe we’ve [Manchester United] got him”, he told FIVE.
“They think that wow, he’s done so much in the game at different levels and he’s been successful and it’s a really good, sharp signing for us.”
Hiring Omar Berrada is ideal for the Red Devils
It is hard to disagree with those at Manchester City about Omar Berrada and his potential impact at Manchester United, as revealed by Rio Ferdinand.
Berrada has been a key cog behind the success of several clubs under the City Football Group and at United, he could bring a successful structure to the table during his role as their newly-appointed CEO.
All Manchester City can do is focus on their own progress, as it would not be a surprise if Omar Berrada works wonders at Old Trafford as soon as his tenure begins.
