Rio Ferdinand has hit back at comparisons between himself and William Saliba after the Frenchman scored an own-goal in Arsenal's win over Leicester.
His setback against the Foxes came after he was named man of the match in the Gunners' opening-day win over Crystal Palace. Saliba's performance at Selhurst Park earned him high praise from many, as the game also marked his competitive debut for Arsenal.
Gary Neville was one pundit who was left particularly impressed by Saliba's display against Palace. That led to him comparing the Gunners star to Ferdinand, who he played alongside for nine years at Manchester United.
