Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand makes Paul Pogba prediction after Bruno Fernandes deal
Rio Ferdinand has been speaking about Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba and Manchester United.
by Paul Clarke, https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/authors/paul-clarke/Rio Ferdinand has made a Paul Pogba prediction about Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes signing and fans will love it.
Fernandes completed his January transfer window switch from Sporting Lisbon to United on Thursday evening in an initial £46.56 million deal.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder is now set to make his debut for the club at Old Trafford on Saturday in the Premier League clash at home to Wolves.
Whilst Pogba will not be in the line-up due to injury once again, Ferdinand believes that Fernandes will have a hugely positive impact on the French World Cup winner.
"I think it can only enhance someone like him. Someone who has got something to play for, by the way," Ferdinand told his YouTube channel.
"This summer is the Euros, and he's going to want to be a part of this French team that are probably the favourites.
"He will want to be playing there, I know the type of guy he is.
"He's a competitor, he's a winner, and we want to see that in a Man Utd shirt. He will have that appetite to perform for Man Utd, even if he's using that to get into the French team, Man Utd have to actually take that and take it on board.
"The Man Utd midfield of (Scott) McTominay, Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, that's got a nice ring to it."
