Adrien Rabiot’s striking weakness

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Rio Ferdinand, a Manchester United legend is on the side of those who do not really agree with the plan to purchase Adrien Rabiot from Juventus. According to him, Rabiot has one weakness, namely that he is not very productive.

Manchester United have focused on chasing Adrien Rabiot in recent days. The French player is an alternative to Frenkie de Jong who is reluctant to move to Old Trafford.

However, the plan was met with a lot of resistance. One of the skeptics was Rio Ferdinand.

“I find it difficult to argue that Rabiot is a good footballer. Rabiot has a good left foot. He is good at carrying the ball and passing it well. So, maybe Rabiot will be placed as a number 8 midfielder,” said Ferdinand on his show, Vibe with Five.

“My only doubt if he plays in that position is that he won’t score as many goals. If you look at the last few seasons, I think McTominay has more goals than Rabiot.”

Therefore, Ferdinand asked Manchester United to consider the option of bringing in Rabiot. Moreover, at the beginning of his arrival at Juventus, Rabiot had difficulties.

“The transfer will be a gamble for Man United. However, the question is is he good enough for Man United? Will Rabiot’s inclusion in the team get Man United into the Champions League next season?”

“Last season he played a lot at Juventus. So, he will not be as bad as predicted. However, whether Rabiot can make the team grow.”

According to reports circulating, Manchester United and Juventus have agreed on a transfer fee of 17 million euros plus bonuses. However, there were obstacles when discussing the details of the contract with Rabiot.
