Rio Ferdinand in agreement with Marcus Rashford about Man Utd game-changer - "I love it"

Rio Ferdinand and Marcus Rashford are in full agreement over Alejandro Garnacho's impact for Manchester United.

The 18-year-old starlet proved himself again on Saturday with a vital contribution in the Red Devils' epic 2-1 victory over Manchester City on derby day. Brought on by manager Erik ten Hag as Untied trailed 1-0 with 18 minutes of normal time remaining, Garnacho provided a much-needed spark down the left flank and registered the all-important assist for star man Rashford's winning goal.

It was the Spanish-born winger's seventh Premier League appearance of the season, and as club legend Ferdinand explained, Garnacho 'came on and changed the game'. "I looked at the bench and saw three centre-halves and I was thinking, 'Wow, the depth isn't really there'," the ex-Red Devils defender admitted on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel following the madness at Old Trafford.
