Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Ravel Morrison was the "most naturally gifted young player" he ever saw during his time at Old Trafford.
Ferdinand also said that Sir Alex Ferguson would sing the praises of the 24-year-old playmaker, claiming that at the same stage in their career Morrison was better than Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs.
"[Morrison was] probably the most naturally gifted young player I've ever seen," Ferdinand claimed on BT Sport.
"Sir Alex Ferguson pulled me and [Rooney] over one day and said look at this kid. He's better than Wayne as a kid, he's better than Rio, better than Ryan Giggs when he was a kid.
