Rio Ferdinand names 12 players who are world-class ahead of Saka

Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has named 12 players he considers as world-class.

Ferdinand’s list comes after he insisted that Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is not yet at that level.

Speaking on TNT Sport, he named Manchester City quintet- Ederson, Kyle Walker, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.

Ferdinand also picked Liverpool’s trio of Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

Outside the Premier League, Ferdinand chose Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham.

The 45-year-old, however, admitted Saka is similar to Bellingham, pushing towards world-class but not quite there yet.
