    Rio Ferdinand is such a pro. He gets the most amazing footballing guests and then delivers SUPERB interviews. It’s clear that the guests respect Rio and trust him enough to relax and be candid. Rio strikes a wonderful balance between giving the guests the primary speaking role, and inserting his own experiences. Just exceptional listening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Asamoah Gyan: I was 8th highest paid player in world! Why AFCON should be moved
Q: What would be the advice that you'd give to any young aspiring, especially African player, that's making that journey to Europe or the Premier League?
My advice to this young generation is when they are coming to Europe, they should stay focused on their crafts because the difference between African football and European football is based on consistency.
Rio On Rashford: “I Would Feel Embarrassed” | Man Utd Need A Striker? | Garnacho/Nkunku Swap Deal?
Q: Jody, how did it irk you when players were not giving their maximum?
It is disappointing and reflects poorly on a player's commitment if they cannot perform consistently at their best.
Reaction to Michael Carrick Interim Manager! Players need confidence and freedom like Shea Lacey
Q: What does Carrick need to change?
United are better playing on the front foot; they need to simplify their play and attack more aggressively.
Rio’s Rating? 8/10 | Declan Rice is SECOND most influential player in Premier League
Q: So I think that the manager needs to get that across to the players.
They need to effectively beat the bigger teams more often.
Rio’s Rating? 6.5/10 | Comparing Kobbie Mainoo to Gerard Pique + is De Ligt most underrated?
Q: What should United fans judge progress more on? Performances, results or identity?
All of it, all of them.
