EPL: Rio Ferdinand defends Mount, rates Evans ahead of Maguire
Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has defended Mason Mount after the England midfielder struggled in his first two games for the club against Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur.
Ferdinand also claimed Jonny Evans would be ahead of Harry
Maguire in Manchester United centre-back pecking order if he signs a contract
with the club.
Recall that Man United were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham last
weekend and Mount had a difficult match.
However, Ferdinand is in no rush to make a judgement about
the former Chelsea man and feels his adaptation has been affected by the team’s
early struggles this season.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Vibe with FIVE YouTube
show, Ferdinand said: “If Jonny Evans signs he [Maguire] is behind Jonny Evans
I reckon.”
Speaking on Mount, Ferdinand added, “You can’t judge a man
after two games, you can’t, because there’d be players who became legends who
would not have been legends if they’d been judged after two games and told to
get out.”
