Manchester United should sign Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho, Rio Ferdinand has said.
He believes the former Manchester City youngster has the mentality to succeed at the English club after leaving England to prove himself in the Bundesliga.
United have been linked with a big-money swoop for the 18-year-old this summer.
Ferdinand said, “I would take him [at Manchester United] all day,”
“English, young, hungry and talented, that’s all I need to know.”
“I have known Jadon since he was a kid, knew him through friends. I have known his family since he was a kid, before he was even born.
“He has got the mentality. The mentality is a big part of it all, whether he has the physical attributes or not.
“The kid’s mentality, to leave Manchester City, who wanted him to stay, to just say ‘My ability deserves it and I think I can do it straight away, right now. I am not waiting’.
“And he has gone and done that. You have to respect that.
“So if someone asked me whether I would take Jadon Sancho, with all due respect to Borussia Dortmund, I would say yes, 100 per cent.”
