Rio Ferdinand said Manchester United should have signed Ezri Konsa. GOAL said Arsenal signed Konsa from Aston Villa for £55 million during the summer transfer window, while Manchester United are 17th place.
Ferdinand's view on Konsa
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand said: "I think William Saliba is one of those guys that you have to find room for in the team. He’s that good, he’s top. I said to my son yesterday, 'watch Ezri Konsa', because everything he does is efficient. That’s a great problem for Mikel Arteta to have."
The former England international added: "I wouldn’t be surprised if Konsa goes back to right-back once Saliba comes back. I wouldn’t be surprised because Konsa is top. He’s a top, top player and another one I thought Manchester United should have got because he’s a top player."
Arsenal selection issue
GOAL said Saliba was sidelined by a summer injury. Ferdinand said: "He’s giving Mikel Arteta some big decisions to make and big headaches because he’s slipped in seamlessly and put in some big performances. What a signing he’s been for Arsenal."
Context from GOAL
GOAL said Konsa helped Arsenal keep a clean sheet in their weekend victory at Anfield. GOAL said Manchester United spent their entire £155m summer budget on midfielders.
