◉ Cunha suffered a hamstring injury in Manchester United's victory over Burnley and may miss the 197th Manchester City Derby. When asked about how many Amorin's players can be selected after the merger of Manchester United and Manchester City, Ferdinand still included Cunha among them.
Ferdinand said: "Bruno Fernandez was selected for granted. I will put Yoro in. I think he will shine this season. Mbermo is likely to enter now. Cunha may also have a chance. Currently, Manchester City's lineup is stronger than us. This is the fact that not many people will object. This is the status quo."
"But Manchester United has completed a good transfer window, including signings and cleaning up, and hope to see the results by the end of the season. We need more speed, players who can play a role in the offense and defense transition; we need stronger durability and the ability to keep up with the opponent's pace. They solved these problems, especially in the frontcourt. But I still think that another more dynamic midfielder should be introduced. I think they tried it, but it was not possible in the end. But the direction is right. "
◉ Manchester City had just suffered two consecutive defeats against Tottenham and Brighton before the derby. Ferdinand believes that Guardiola and his players will face a big test to prove that they can still maintain their dominance in England football.
"Guardiola never has to be associated with a team that is unstable and cannot win the trophy. Manchester City did not win the important trophy last season. You would think, 'Is this the trend changing? Can they still reverse it?' This is the challenge facing these players and Guardiola. Can they rebuild the team and launch another attack? This is a question that must be answered, and it depends on whether he is willing to meet the challenge. Let's wait and see."
"They have brought in a lot of players in recent transfer windows. These balls It also takes time to adapt. Can they start to win the trophy like in the past? I think it will be difficult because Liverpool has strengthened again and supplemented very well. Arsenal is still competitive. Chelsea are also crazy signings. Manchester City wants to return to the absolute dominance of the past, and there will be many obstacles on the road. I will not deny that they may win the championship again, but I will question whether they can still have an absolute advantage as before. "
◉ Manchester has dominated the Premier League for a long time in recent years. After many years, will it really be transferred from Manchester?
"Listen, Manchester United is rebuilding, it takes time. What about Manchester City? Who knows what they are in now, but they will still remain competitive and will still be in the forefront. It's a cyclical sport, always. It's just that we're lucky that in this era, most of the time the champion trophy stays in Manchester, whether it's Manchester or Manchester City, almost all this over the past decade."
"From this perspective, it's a good time for Manchester. But I still think Manchester City will definitely compete in the next few years, and as for Manchester United, I hope they can catch up and start challenging."
◉ Meanwhile, Ferdinand admits that Liverpool and Arsenal are very competitive this season
"I think you have to respect them no matter who the champion is. Usually the defending champions will be in the new season It is inevitable. Look at their signing this summer. Their transfer window is the most successful, without a doubt. From the beginning, their intentions were clear, clean and transparent. Except for failing to sign Guy, all other goals were completed. If they beat Guy, I think they will completely crush all opponents. "
"I think the only team that can approach Liverpool this season is Arsenal. Their lineup is excellent, their thickness is strong, and the signings are also very successful. If Yorkes can play, it will make their competitiveness a step further."
◉ Ferdinand said that he does not think there will be other teams that can disrupt the Premier League championship situation
"You may think there will be dark horses like Newcastle or Chelsea, but I think the European battle will drag them down to a certain extent, after all, this puts high demands on the lineup."
