Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has praised one of the club’s current players, describing him as “as solid as a rock” and capable of staying at Old Trafford for the next ten years. Ferdinand made the comment while analysing United’s recent performances and pointing out the importance of building the team around reliable, long-term players.

Although he did not mention every name in the squad, Ferdinand highlighted the qualities he believes the player shows — calmness under pressure, strong decision-making, leadership on the pitch, and consistency in big matches. He said these traits are exactly what Manchester United need if they want to return to winning major trophies in England and Europe.

Ferdinand also explained that United’s problem in recent seasons has been constant changes, both in players and in management. According to him, keeping a strong core of dependable players for many years is the only way the club can rebuild stability and regain its identity.

He encouraged the club’s owners and managers to resist selling such key players, even if big offers come in from other teams. Ferdinand said long-term success is built on patience, trust, and continuity — not just on short-term transfers.
