Rio Ferdinand reveals which Tottenham player would be in his top three for Manchester United to sign

Rio Ferdinand has revealed Tottenham star Son Heung-min would be one of his first picks if he could take any player in the world to Manchester United. Ex-Red Devils man has admitted that Spurs attacker could be the best ever Asian player to play in the Premier League ahead of his former teammate, Park Ji-sung. The latter had a seven-year spell at Old Trafford after arriving from PSV Eindhoven in 2005. Being asked whether Son is the best Asian player to come to the Premier League, Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE (via Football.London): “Listen, I played with more of a player’s player, but an absolute top player, top professional in Park Ji-sung. “Park Ji-sung, you wanted him in your team. I remember he man-marked [Andrea] Pirlo out of a game once. Pirlo was waking up in the middle of the night and Ji was at the bottom of the bed waiting for him, giving him nightmares. “But Son, man. If there was a player that I could take now [to Manchester United] that I feel would get the ball, he would be up there as one of my first picks, definitely in my top three. “I love the way he plays, he is direct, he hurts teams, wants to score all the time, can go off both feet and he looks like a fantastic lad as well, so who is the best Asian player to play in the Premier League?”
