Manchester United: Rio wants midfield role?

Rio Ferdinand says he is willing to continue in a midfield role for Manchester United, as Sir Alex Ferguson continues to flounder in his search for reinforcements. The need for a new midfield enforcer has become abundantly clear after a run of injuries at Old Trafford, and Ferdinand filled in with aplomb in the 3-0 win over Wolves at the weekend.

I must admit, i watched the game and he did look quite comfortable in the role. He is a great defender but sometimes loses concentration to be honest. Maybe he could be transformed into a midfielder, he is great in the air, good in the tackle and for a defender he can pass the ball well...

I really can't see Rio as a midfielder. He may do well in there for a a couple of games but Man Utd need a proper midfielder to replace Roy Keane. Man Utd need someone that can influence games and I can't see Rio doing that

true well said cokewithorange rio is a great centre back but not a midfielder:sport-smiley-019:

Hey aj7,
Who do you think Man Utd should buy

FERNANDO TORRES

also we should buy gattuso from ac milan he is a great defensive midfielder :party-smiley-018:
