RIO ON SANCHO

Rio Ferdinand highlighted the strengths Sancho brings to Man Utd.

Speaking on his official YouTube channel Ferdinand said: “On the right hand side, and the left hand side, we haven’t got a winger who goes on the outside.

“Goes on the outside and crosses the ball. That’s what you need.

“He can play right-wing, left-wing, he can go both ways, he plays with both feet. But on that right wing, as well as Mason [Greenwood] has done, and I’m a massive Mason Greenwood fan, out there having a winger.

“This is Man United, always associated with wingers. Always have done over the years.

“Any of our most successful times there’s been wide players who can go on the outside and cross the ball.

“[Mason] wants goals, which is a good element, a good aspect, but Jadon gives you both options and for a full-back – terrible news.

“The element of going on the outside, beating the full-back and crossing it and then the Mason Greenwood’s, the Cavani’s, the Rashford’s coming in from the other side, we should be getting more goals from those scenarios this season.

“He will add to the attacking variety we have in a red shirt.”
