Rio Ferdinand Clears Air With Solskjaer After Cristiano Ronaldo Criticism After UCL Loss

Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand said: “Ole has come for me the other day! All I will say, people just need to watch the shows and watch the context of what was said. When I see Ole I’m going to give him a big hug.

“I’ll shake his hand and say: ‘It’s all love’. You know I love him, I’m his biggest fan. Ole’s at the wheel was’’t happening until I said it. I’ve got no beef with anyone at Manchester United, I love Manchester United, I love the people there.

“But sometimes stuff is said in the heat of the moment and you get things wrong here and there but it is a phone call, man. Just call me and say: ‘Ri, what’s going on?’. That’s what I would do if it was me. But when I see Ole, its all love.
