Rio Ferdinand has raved about reported Liverpool target Jadon Sancho, but he wants his former club Manchester United to sign him, as quoted in Metro.

The United legend has spoken highly of the Borussia Dortmund winger and has outlined his attributes.

Ferdinand, who now works as a pundit for BT Sport, has added that he hopes that the Red Devils signed the former Manchester City prospect.

According to The Mirror, Liverpool are interested in signing Sancho in the summer transfer window, with German club Dortmund valuing the 20-year-old at £120 million.

Metro quotes Ferdinand as saying about Sancho and United: “I hope they do [sign Sancho] man.

“He’s got that imagination, that carefree spirit – almost like that playground footballer vibe that I love. And he’s bringing it all to the big stage.”

Stats

Sancho has scored 14 goals and provided 15 assists in the Bundesliga, and has scored two goals and provided two assists in eight Champions League games for Dortmund so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Football in England is suspended at the moment due to the global health crisis, and it remains to be seen when the summer transfer window opens.

Clubs may not be in a position to sign players for big money this summer due to the economic uncertainty.
