Ferdinand: Manchester United needs to pass the ball to Sheshko so that he can show his true strength

August 25th, Red Magic legend Rio Ferdinand talked about Manchester United's new aid Scheshko when participating in the live broadcast. Ferdinand said that he did not understand Sheshko's position in the team, and he could not understand why he did not give Sheshko more touch opportunities to help him show his true strength. He also said that this situation is hindering Sheshko's development in Old Trafford.

In the first round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost to Arsenal 0-1, Sheshko came on as a substitute 25 minutes before the end of the game. In the 1-1 draw with Fulham last Sunday, he received another 37 minutes of substitute time, but neither game could have a substantial impact on the team.

"Passing the ball to Sheshko will not be an easy opponent. Give the ball to him and let the opponent defend, but our current way of playing is to leave him aside. Sometimes these are very basic and fundamental issues. You should pass the ball to someone who can cause trouble for your opponent, but we are doing the opposite now. So, this is what I worry about the most, and everyone can't see his true level at all." Ferdinand said.

Ferdinand also believes that even if Sheshko makes mistakes when touching the ball, he should give him more opportunities to pass the ball, because people can't tell at present what kind of player Manchester United signs.

"I would rather see the team pass the ball to Sheshko, even if he performs badly, so that we can at least understand his strength. But now, I don't understand his positioning at all, nor what he should do on the court. I'm not blaming whom, but my teammates have to help him gain a foothold in the team," Ferdinand continued.

In addition, Ferdinand also criticized Manchester United's overall performance against Fulham, believing that the team led by Amorin failed to convert the ball possession advantage into a victory: "I think every Fulham fan, player and staff will wonder, 'What's going on? This is not the Manchester United team we expected.' At such a critical moment, the top team will seize the opponent's weakness and fight hard, and will firmly suppress the opponent. But we didn't do it, and we just let them go."
