Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has suggested that Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne is the best crosser of the ball in the world.

According to Ferdinand, De Bruyne is closest to former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham when it comes to crossing the ball.

Speaking on his VIBE with FIVE YouTube Channel, Ferdinand also claimed that Beckham was good enough to play the same role as De Bruyne or Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, not just the wings.

Ferdinand said, “Undoubtedly the best crosser of the ball I have ever seen. If you have got to compare anyone in today’s game, it is De Bruyne.

“I would say, is the closest thing to Becks. Becks could play that position.

“He could either play the holding midfielder in today’s game or the number 8/10 that plays in that area, like Kevin de Bruyne or Odegaard if we are talking of the Premier League at the moment.”

Beckham scored 127 goals and provided 225 assists in 724 games for clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
