Transfer: Ferdinand names striker Man Utd should sign after missing out on Welbeck

Rio Ferdinand, a Manchester United legend, has suggested that his former club should target Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa following their unsuccessful pursuit of Danny Welbeck. The pundit made these remarks during an analysis of Manchester United's recent 2-0 loss to Hull City on his YouTube channel. Manchester United had initially missed out on signing Welbeck, who ultimately joined Chelsea.

Ferdinand questioned whether United's financial resources would permit them to sign a player like Watkins. He also noted that even if Welbeck had been available for transfer, the English striker could have still provided valuable contributions to the team, despite being content with a bench role during this stage of his career. Ferdinand concluded by expressing his belief that Manchester United would secure a top-four finish and that such a result would satisfy him.
