Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has raised concerns about Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka following the Gunners’ 3-2 Premier League defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

Ferdinand believes Saka has been a shadow of his former self lately, suggesting that he has lost some of the connection he once shared with teammate Martin Ødegaard.

“He is the one they always go to, but I don’t see him running onto anything,” Ferdinand said of Saka on his Rio Ferdinand Presents YouTube channel.

“Maybe it is just the way Arsenal play, or maybe it was that Manchester United got into shape so quickly and didn’t allow space in behind to run. But I never see him running into things. I want to see him doing that.

“He has now brought that other part to his game, where he runs on the outside, which I like; it has added a different variation to his game.

“The link-up with Ødegaard is not what it was a year or 18 months ago.”
