He believes Ronaldo is the best player to ever kick the ball and he expects him to do this

Manchester United has produced several top players in the Premier League who have guided them to monumental feats in their history. The corner of the red half of Manchester is filled with memories of these club legends that have helped build lifetime memories for fans and are highly regarded by them.

Rio Ferdinand sits at the top of the pile of such great players. Ferdinand, whose time at United is fondly remembered as they were decorated with trophies, has thrown his full support behind a fellow club icon, Cristiano Ronaldo, and is rooting for him to get back to full fitness.

Ferdinand once again has come to the defense of the star player that bagged 24 goals last season following his recent poor form in front of goal. Ronaldo has only scored thrice this season from over 15 appearances, which is the most inconsistent goalscoring performance in his career.

The Portuguese has started the last four games under Ten Hag but has been unlucky with his scoring exploit with only one goal. Though his overall team performance has not gone unnoticed, it is more worrisome for Ten Hag and the fans as the goals are not coming as expected.

IS FERDINAND RIGHT TO SUPPORT RONALDO?

Of course, there's worry about his current form, but make no mistake that he is a player who has thrive on proving doubters wrong over and over again. He relishes the challenge of being questioned and finds the most iconic ways to remind everyone of just how good he is. Ferdinand sure has reason to have come to his conclusion and it is only right to wait and see how it unfolds.
