Ferdinand: I tried to call on Manchester United to sign Rice and Caicedo, they are too good

Hupu, October 7th: Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand said that he had been calling on his former club Manchester United to sign the two midfielders before Rice and Caicedo moved to rivals Arsenal and Chelsea respectively.

When asked who of the two is better at the moment, Ferdinand said in his podcast: "Each has its own merits, and their playing styles are very similar. I think if you let Rice go, he will contribute more to you on the offensive end. But Caicedo is more responsive defensively. Faster and sharper. I don't think there's much difference between them, no matter who I choose, I will be satisfied."

Ferdinand added: "When they were both in the transfer market, I kept calling on Manchester United to sign them because I saw the value of Caicedo. If given time he would excel at Manchester United and Rice would be a crazy signing. Honestly, the difference between the two is almost in the details. "

He further analyzed the applicable positions of the two: "It depends on what position you plan to let them play. If you let them play as a defensive midfielder, I might choose Caicedo; if they are the No. 8 midfielder, then I will choose Rice. If Rice is allowed to play freely, he will have many more goals and assists than Caissedo. If the two of them are on the court at the same time, the defense will have a huge headache. "
