Rio: “I can’t see an Erik Ten Hag Plan”

Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

Rio and Joel are joined by England coach Joleon Lescott to discuss the lack of identity with Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United squad. The trio explore the structural issues with the team, identify what needs to be improved and compare the manager’s reign to the early stages of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal career.


Joleon reveals the player he’s most excited to see perform on the senior international stage for England and discusses the under rated ability of Curtis Jones who played alongside Cole Palmer for the Under 21s. The Chelsea forward’s performance prompts a debate about who is the best English attacking talent where the merits of Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Palmer are compared and analysed.
