The former Manchester United centre-half believes a man currently filling that berth faces different challenges to a big-money rival at Liverpool
Comparing Manchester United new boy Harry Maguire to Liverpool talisman Virgil van Dijk is “unfair”, says Rio Ferdinand, despite there being obvious links between two big-money centre-halves.
Back in the winter window of 2018, those at Anfield raised eyebrows when investing a then record-breaking £75 million ($91m) transfer fee in a Netherlands international.
Van Dijk has proved to be a shrewd addition, with his value having increased further during a productive spell on Merseyside.
