Rio Ferdinand warned off Manchester United from signing Everton’s Amadou Onana.
Manchester United are reportedly looking to sign another central midfielder before the transfer window closes.
The two main names linked have been the aforementioned Onana of Everton and Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat.
Rio Ferdinand has had his say on this subject and believes Onana is not a good fit for Man United:
“McTominay upgrade? What is he, tell me what he is? Onana is not a holder, he’s not a destroyer. Every single attribute listed, that’s not Ten Hag to me. Ten Hag’s about playing through the lines, playing off angles,” he told Vibe with Five.
“I think he has really good attributes but I don’t think for Man United. It’s like Fellaini, it’s like buying Fellaini again for Manchester United. He had unbelievable attributes but not for Man United. Is he more effective than Fellaini, no he’s not! Ambrabat all day, much better player. I’ve seen a lot of Onana, I saw his debut against Aston Villa at Villa Park. He’s got good attributes, he’s athletic, he could be like Fellaini and get into the box and score more, he could do that. But he’s not clean enough, he hasn’t got silks.”
