Sancho has been linked with an exit from Dortmund this summer with Manchester United heavily interested. Liverpool have also been credited with an interest since the turn of the year. (h/t Metro

Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand though, has advised Sancho to avoid joining our club as he would not be able to walk into the starting line-up at Anfield.

That is not to say that he doesn’t have the potential to become a top player in the Premier League. Ferdinand reckons that the 20-year-old has the X-factor to be a massive hit at any club he joins. But the former Manchester United man is of the belief that Sancho would have to wait to become a regular feature in our team.

During his Instagram Q&A session the Englishman said (h/t Metro):

“As good as Jadon Sancho is I don’t think he gets into Liverpool’s team right now. Whether he’s a better player than any of them, right now I don’t think he is.”

Ferdinand has a point in saying that our attacking trident of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane has been absolutely top-notch over the past couple of years. And Sancho, despite enjoying a rapid rise in stature at Dortmund, might not become a regular starter at Liverpool right away should he join the club.
