Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand has revealed his admiration for Samir Nasri by comparing the Arsenal playmaker to Old Trafford icon Eric Cantona.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for midfield inspiration to replace the retiring Paul Scholes and Nasri, who is out of contract next year, has refused to rule out a move to Old Trafford.
Ferdinand has given an insight into how highly Nasri is rated by the new Premier League champions by naming him as his favourite French player.
“Samir Nasri is an excellent player who has a good technique and a huge amount of talent,” said the England defender. “And he scores goals.
"For me, he is one of the best players right now. I think he even won the title of best French football player at international level.
"The French have a history of good players here. Thierry Henry has been fantastic. Just like Cantona.
