Rio Ferdinand names Andre Onana in second place as he ranks Manchester United’s 3 best signings this season

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand recently ranked his top three signings made by the club last summer.

The Red Devils signed seven players ahead of the current season after finishing third in the Premier League last campaign and winning the Carabao Cup. They signed Rasmus Hojlund (Atalanta), Andre Onana (Inter Milan), Altay Bayindir (Fenerbahce), Mason Mount (Chelsea), and Jonny Evans (free agent) permanently.

They also brought in Sergio Reguilon (Tottenham Hotspur) and Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina) on loan. The former, however, has already returned to Spurs after six months.

On his podcast FIVE on YouTube, Ferdinand labeled Evans Manchester United's best summer signing. The veteran defender, who previously spent nine years at the club, returned in the summer on a free transfer after leaving Leicester City.

Evans was expected to be part of training and be a squad player but has become a key player under Erik ten Hag. He has made 16 appearances across competitions this season and also provided an assist.

Ferdinand then picked Onana and Hojlund as the second and third-best signings respectively.

Manchester United signed Onana from Inter Milan for a reported fee of over £47 million. The Cameroonian goalkeeper has struggled at the club, making numerous errors. He has kept nine clean sheets in 29 games across competitions and conceded 45 goals.

Hojlund, meanwhile, arrived at Old Trafford from Atalanta for a reported fee of £72 million. While he scored five goals in six UEFA Champions League games, the Danish striker has scored just once in 18 domestic appearances this season.
