Rio Ferdinand Speculates Arteta’s Interest in Manchester United Role

Manchester: Rio Ferdinand, a Manchester United legend, believes Arsenal's young manager Mikel Arteta will seriously consider the opportunity to take over at Old Trafford after Ruben Amorim was sacked. Manchester United underwent a sudden change in the first week of 2026 when they decided to sack Amorim as manager of the "Red Devils," despite the club having just drawn 1-1 with Leeds United on Sunday.

According to Thai News Agency, Manchester United are currently in the process of finding a new manager, with Oliver Glasner and Xavi Hernandez being highlighted as key options. Arteta, who is performing well with Arsenal, is not being considered as a potential candidate.
