Rio Ferdinand Backs Jadon Sancho’s ‘Freedom’ Comment – Here’s Why
Jadon Sancho’s single-word comment—”freedom”—under Marcus Rashford’s Instagram post has sparked debate among Manchester United fans. Now, club legend Rio Ferdinand has weighed in, backing Sancho and explaining why he believes the winger is right.
Ferdinand, who played for Manchester United for over a decade, insists that Sancho’s remark holds truth. “Sancho is right in what he said,” Ferdinand stated. “I’ve played for Manchester United, and I know what I’m telling you. What Sancho said is absolutely true.”
While he didn’t elaborate immediately, many believe Ferdinand is referring to the restrictive playing style under United’s current system. Fans have speculated that Sancho, who has been exiled from the first team after a public fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, might be hinting at feeling constrained in his role at Old Trafford.
Ferdinand’s support adds weight to the growing debate about player freedom under United’s tactics. Many supporters have long questioned whether the team’s structure limits attacking players like Sancho from expressing themselves fully on the pitch.
With Ferdinand’s backing, Sancho’s comment continues to fuel discussions about Manchester United’s approach and whether tactical changes are needed for the squad to thrive.
