Facebook: Manchester United legend makes eye-opening claim as Mourinho moves to Old Trafford

Posted by

Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand has taken to social media to praise his former employers for sealing the deal to sign Jose Mourinho.

The former England defender has also made the astonishing claim—particularly in light of the team’s failure in recent seasons—that United are the biggest club in the world!

Certainly Real Madrid, with their decima of European titles, would have one of two arguments to lay against Ferdinand’s claim!

“Congratulations to Jose on being announced manager of the biggest club in the world,” Ferdinand began, writing on his Facebook account.

“This is Jose Mourinho’s most exciting and most challenging job yet,” the former defender added—another claim that Real may disagree with!

“One thing I can tell Manchester United fans is that they have got themselves a true winner in all aspects,” the experienced defender concluded. “His CV shows success!”

Ferdinand knows what he’s talking about as far as both Manchester United and success is concerned.
