Rio Ferdinand, on his podcast 'Rio Ferdinand presents FIVE', hit out at Emery after United's win over Aston Villa. "Unai Emery was producing miracles, and who steps up to stop him? Bruno," said the former footballer and current football pundit.
Aston Villa were on a 10-match unbeaten run until they visited Old Trafford. The Red Devils beat the Villans 1-0 with a goal from Bruno Fernandes and left Unai Emery with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Not so for Rio Ferdinand. One of Man Utd's legends, in his podcast 'Rio Ferdinand presents FIVE', hit out at Unai Emery: "'Unai Emery was producing miracles, and who steps up to stop him? Bruno. Sit back down, Unai. Have a reality check and know your place.'
After talking about the Portuguese, the former footballer highlighted his performance: "We deserved to win the game. Did you see Bruno's numbers? Wow. The guy… it's remarkable what he is doing. If he was at Arsenal he'd probably have a statue now at the Emirates with the numbers he has done!".
"Does Bruno take the captaincy next year? 100 per cent, I think he does. Since Bruno signed [for Man Utd] he has been the most impactful player we have had," he concluded.
