Rio Ferdinand has praised Bukayo Saka, the “fearless” winger for Arsenal, and thinks Manchester United’s wingers might take a page or two from his approach to the game.
The 21-year-old has recently been in excellent form, scoring the game-winning goal in each of his previous three matches across all competitions.
Saka had a lucky winner against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League after scoring twice against Liverpool, including the game-winning penalty, following a season-opening slightly below-average performance.
The Hale End academy graduate scored the game-winning goal in Sunday’s victory over Leeds for Arsenal, who increased their advantage at the top of the standings to four points and rounded off an incredible week.
And according to Ferdinand, Saka should now be a lock for the Three Lions to start at the Globe Cup in a month because he placed seventh last night in the Kopa Trophy rankings for the greatest Under-21 player in the world.
You can’t look past Saka in that right-wing position in this form, he told Vibe. In Bukayo’s England jersey, Ferdinand believes the same thing.
Ferdinand claimed to have seen him play live a few times this year. He is a winger whose first thought and intention is to get past you when given the opportunity. That was Nani’s intention, he said when we spoke to him.
