Centre Back: Rio Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson from Leeds United in 2002 and subsequently, he became a club legend after spending 12 seasons at Old Trafford. Ferdinand made 455 appearances for United and won 6 Premier Leagues and 1 UEFA Champions’ League with them. He formed a brilliant central defence partnership with Nemanja Vidic .
Trending
Ferdinand was easy on the ball and his ability to distribute and start an attack and distribute complemented Vidic’s marking and tackling abilities very well. With his height and athleticism, Ferdinand was strong in the air as well.
Ferdinand was named in the Premier League’s fantasy team of 20 years from 1992-93 to 2012-13. He quite surely remains one of the most distinguished centre-backs in the history of English football.
