Marselino Ferdinan’s Future at Oxford United Hinges on 2025 Preseason Performance
Marselino Ferdinan’s position at Oxford United is becoming clearer but still uncertain as the club evaluates his development during the 2025 preseason. The young Indonesian midfielder is expected to receive more playing time, including appearances in the upcoming Piala Presiden tournament, as part of the team’s plan to assess his readiness for the main squad. His limited senior team appearances last season contrast with the increased opportunities he is now being given.
Oxford United’s coach, Gary Rowett, emphasized the importance of giving young players adequate minutes on the pitch to grow. The club will monitor Marselino’s performances closely throughout the preseason before making decisions about his future role. Should he not earn enough playing time in the first team, loaning him to another club is considered a viable option to ensure his continued development.
Speculation about a possible transfer to a Dutch club has been circulating, but Oxford United’s owner Erick Thohir has dismissed any concrete talks at this stage. According to the owner, Marselino is still undergoing evaluation, and his adaptation to English football will be a key factor in the club’s final decision.
With the 2025-26 season fast approaching, the young midfielder’s performance in the preseason will heavily influence his career path. Oxford United appears committed to nurturing his talent, aiming to give him a bigger role if he proves ready to compete at a higher level.
