Rio Ferdinand believes youngsters Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal have given Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag "food for thought" following their performances in Friday's 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory.
Just as they did against Liverpool in Bangkok on Tuesday, the duo stepped off the bench at half-time, with Ten Hag making the decision to make ten changes at the break. They slotted into a midfield three, with Donny van de Beek operating just ahead of them.
While Savage kept things neat and tidy with a wide range of excellent passes, Iqbal was a little more adventurous, catching the eye with his driving runs and one sublime piece of skill that brought a few cheers from the crowd. They both looked at home in their roles and did not appear fazed by playing alongside several big-name stars.
