Rio Ferdinand’s old video was brought up by Liverpool fans, who made fun of the former Manchester United defender.
Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United defender, has been the target of numerous jokes from the public after his previous takeover claim was disproved. It was revealed on Saturday that Qatari tycoon Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani was no longer interested in purchasing the entire Glazer family’s portfolio of Liverpool’s rivals.Since May, £5bn has been the offered amount; however, an agreement could not be reached.
At the same time that Liverpool and United were involved in takeover stories, the Reds went on to secure additional funding from Diversity Equity to help settle debt from recent endeavors.
United, however, is still awaiting confirmation of the takeover rumors. However, it appears that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is close to acquiring a 25% stake and controlling the club’s football operations with the intention of eventually assuming full control. It makes Ferdinand’s claims from months ago on his YouTube channel FIVE, where he explained how a “good source” revealed the Sheikh’s takeover was imminent, look ridiculous, and fans have jumped on his disproved claims with gusto.
The takeover of Man United is imminent, according to Rio Ferdinand and FIVE,” he declared. “According to what we have heard, the Qatari bid is the one that will be accepted, taken over, and implemented. Man, praise be to God.
We have heard that this will happen in the coming days or even hours, so it must be very close. I’ve been told this is true by a reliable source, so I just wake up every day, look at the news, either online or in the paper, and say, “Please, guys.”. When Ferdinand was a pundit on BT Sport a few years ago, he made a comment that went viral for all the wrong reasons when he implied that former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjr was “at the wheel” after his team eliminated Paris Saint-Germain from the Champions League.
