Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has revealed that he regrets not telling former boss, Sir Alex Ferguson to field a strong team against Everton in the FA Cup.
The former English defender was a fan-favourite at Old Trafford during his illustrious career with Red Devils, winning six Premier League titles, three League Cups and the Champions League, but did not the FA Cup title.
Rio Ferdinand wrote in his ‘a letter to my yourself’ as featured on Players’ Tribune website, he said: “Of all the matches you’ll go on to play, if there’s one thing you can do, just one thing you can change, tell the gaffer to play Rooney and Ronaldo in the FA Cup semifinal against Everton.
“There’s a [Champions League] semifinal or something coming up and he wants to make sure everyone is rested. So he’s shuffling the squad to keep people fit. I get it.
“But I know, I know if they played, there would have been another cup at Old Trafford. So say that to the manager.
“The FA Cup, it’ll be the one trophy that eludes you in your career. And looking back, this would’ve been your best opportunity to get it. So tell him,”
