I defended Rio Ferdinand against Robbie Savage, who was ‘intimidating’ him during the Manchester United tunnel confrontation

Wayne Rooney, a player for Manchester United, talked about an episode that happened between Robbie Savage and Rio Ferdinand during a game against Blackburn Rovers.

Wayne Rooney, a star at Manchester United, talked about how he helped Rio Ferdinand after he fought Robbie Savage.

They were very important to United’s success during a very good time in their past. Ferdinand and Rooney won five Premier League wins together, as well as the Champions League, the Club World Cup, and the League Cup. But Rooney has said that he was also useful off the field, referring to a fight with Blackburn Rovers.

In the first game between these two teams, Ferdinand got his only red card in a 4-3 loss to Rovers, who were led by David Bentley at Ewood Park. Ferdinand said that Blackburn midfielder Robbie Savage was to blame for his dismissal. When the two teams played again, Ferdinand chased after Savage as the players went to the locker room at halftime.

Even though United played Everton on Saturday, both Rooney and Ferdinand were commentating for TNT Sports. A happy Rooney laughed with Savage about how he had to help Ferdinand when they talked about what happened.

The former striker said, “It was one of many times I had to protect Rio.” The player called Savage was tough to beat and scary to be around.

He joked, “His hairspray was getting in my eyes!” when asked what Savage had done to make him mad.

“Sav, he got me kicked off once because he was funny,” Ferdinand said. Sav said, “He was a really good player. He was good at everything besides sports, just to make people mad.

“Kicked me out of the game before we came here. At half-time, he sped by me and bumped into me on the way down the tunnel. I chased him down the tunnel, and the rest is history. I’m not going to… Sav needs to keep up with his work! I love him now, and Sav and I get along great.

This time, Ferdinand didn’t give a clear answer, but in the past, the commentator has said that Savage ended up “on the floor.” The story broke during United’s 2020 Champions League match against PSG, and Savage responded right away during the show.

“Mate, he got in there first. “Different story,” Savage said. “I texted him, ‘The tunnel line is coming, I’ll get you.'” Hear this, a different account of what happened. He knows what really happened. “That’s why he works out so often now.”
