Rio Presents is back for a brand-new season, with Rio Ferdinand joined by Joel Beya and Stephen Howson to analyse the opening weekend of Premier League action.
Rio gives his honest assessment of Manchester United’s performance, explains why the midfield wasn’t the decisive issue in their opening-day defeat to Hull and identifies the fundamentals Michael Carrick’s side must fix.
Having shared a dressing room with Carrick for several years, Rio offers a unique perspective on the manager’s calm personality and explains why supporters shouldn’t mistake it for a lack of passion.
The panel examines United’s new midfield options, the striker the squad may still need and why one result shouldn’t define an entire season.
They also debate the changing standards at Old Trafford and whether clubs and players are held to different standards on loyalty, amid transfer uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Martinelli at Arsenal and Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa.
Rio also assesses the pressure on Liverpool’s big-money signings Florian Wirtz and Aleksander Isak and asks whether their performances have received less scrutiny than their price tags warrant over the last 12 months.
Plus, Rio makes a major prediction about Arsenal’s title defence and explains why their stability could mark the beginning of a period of dominance.
