Rio Ferdinand has described Man United's reported interest in Wolves coach Gary O’Neil as "disrespectful".
O’Neil has been tipped for a role in a potential new coaching setup at Old Trafford, a news the Wolves boss described as an honour.
However, in reaction, Ferdinand said: “It’s all about personnel if they’re interested for one but also, Gary O’Neil, as a manager is doing his thing. He’s doing a great job, is he going to be willing to take a back seat?”
“He’s doing so well, he’d probably have to go on a quarter or a third of his wages he’s on now to go there [United] and be the second man and have no responsibility.”
“I don’t know if he’s taking that, he’s doing too well as a manager in his own right to be talked about, I think it’s disrespectful.”
“Gary O’Neil, who kept Bournemouth up, has gone to Wolves and is really kicking them on, to think he’ll go in at Manchester United as an assistant manager, if it was Man City or under Klopp at Liverpool, I’d understand maybe a bit more. Not Man Utd where we are at the moment.”
