Manchester United should not sign Everton midfielder, Amadou Onana, Rio Ferdinand has said. He recently insisted that Sofyan Amrabat is much better than the Belgian, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact is that Onana is not a holder or destroyer in midfield, and signing him would be like signing Fellaini who only delivered physicality.
Rio added that even if Amadou is super athletic and strong, he does not have what it takes to play for MUFC right now.
His words, “McTominay upgrade? What is he, tell me what he is? Onana is not a holder, he’s not a destroyer. Every single attribute listed, that’s not Ten Hag to me. Ten Hag’s about playing through the lines, playing off angles,”
“I think he has really good attributes but I don’t think for Man United. It’s like Fellaini, it’s like buying Fellaini again for Manchester United. He had unbelievable attributes but not for Man United. Is he more effective than Fellaini, no he’s not! Ambrabat all day, much better player. I’ve seen a lot of Onana, I saw his debut against Aston Villa at Villa Park. He’s got good attributes, he’s athletic, he could be like Fellaini and get into the box and score more, he could do that. But he’s not clean enough, he hasn’t got silks.”
