  • Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has explained that he won't be taking up a director role at Old Trafford
  • The Red Devils' chiefs are planning to make some changes at the club after the end of the ongoing Premier League season
  • Ralf Rangnick and his wards have lost the chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League

Rio Ferdinand has explained that he is no longer interested in taking up a director role at Premier League club Manchester United where he made his name as a player.

There have been talks on Rio Ferdinand making a return to Manchester United this time around to be a director, but the man who now works as a pundit has turned down the offer.

Manchester United have had troubled season and have been knocked out of all competitions and have no hope of qualifying for the Champions League again.

The club's chiefs are ready to make many changes in the summer as they have already appointed Ten Hag as new coach who will take over from embattled Ralf Rangnick.

According to the report on Complete Sports, Rio Ferdinand explained that he is no longer interested in director role at Man United.

Rio Ferdinand's reaction about Man United

“Not really, no.

“I am happy with what I am doing in regards to punditry, being involved in a management company and the WeAre8 stuff as well. I am happy. I am busy doing stuff.

''If the club ever needed me, I’d always be open to that conversation because of my love for the club, but I think the same could be said of any former player who played for the club.”

Unstoppable Ronaldo continues to dominate EPL, sets incredible feat with equalizing goal against Chelsea

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Cristiano Ronaldo once again showed he is indispensable at Manchester United after he singlehandedly rescued a point for the Red Devils against Chelsea.

The 37-year-old scored the equalizing goal for the Red Devils just moments after Marcos Alonso had given the Blues a 1-0 lead at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo pounced on a delightful scoop pass from Nemanja Matic into the box, and he sent a searing rocket into the roof of the net for his 17th Premier League goal.

The Portugal forward has now scored 8 of Manchester United’s last 9 goals as he continues to show his importance to the United team.

The 37-year-old has also scored more goals against the top five teams in the English Premier League this season ahead of Mohammed Salah.
