Rio Ferdinand has declared his love for Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, putting aside his loyalty to Manchester United.
The Dutch midfielder has been the subject of discussion ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League match against Ajax.
The 30-year-old joined the Reds in 2016 and has been at the heart of the club’s recent success.
With Premier League and Champions League winning medals to his name, Ferdinand believes Wijnaldum is often overlooked when Liverpool praise is praised.
“I have to be honest: I love this player,” Ferdinand said on BT Sport.
“He is very selfless, his intelligence, he is completely underestimated because he can play every single midfield position in that central zone.

“He has a number 10 role for the Netherlands, the way they defend here [for Liverpool]. “
Ferdinand went on to explain that players like Wijnaldum are often more appreciated by their teammates than by fans because they see firsthand the effort they put into the pitch.
“We have players you play with in your career,” Ferdinand added.

“Who the fans probably don’t appreciate that much, because on the pitch you know how much work they’re doing, how valuable they are.”
Wijnaldum is out of contract in the summer and has been heavily linked to Barcelona in the last window.
Based on Ferdinand’s assessment, Liverpool would be foolish to let him go … especially on a free throw.
