• Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has chosen between Thomas Partey and Casimero
• The ex-footballer turned pundit prefers the Brazilian's style of play compared to the Black Stars midfielder
• Thomas Partey has played a key role as Arsenal sit top of the English Premier League season in the ongoing campaign

Rio Ferdinand has picked Brazilian midfielder Casimero over Arsenal ace Thomas Partey.

The former Manchester United defender believes Casimero is miles ahead of Partey, who has been key to Arsenal's renaissance.

Ferdinand, in an interview with Vibes with Five, made his preference clear backing it with his reasons.

"Partey is a really good player. He's been really good,” Ferdinad said on Vibe with Five as quoted by Pulse.

“He's not the right player to play holding midfielder for Man United. We're talking about a player with many rungs up, many rungs.

"It's like saying before we had Fred and McTominay in the CDM position, would you not have taken Partey? Well, yes, I would have, but what does that prove? All I'm saying is we're talking about Casemiro against Partey, and it's not a competition."

Partey has been incredible for Arsenal this season as the Gunners sit top of the English Premier League. The 29-year-old joined Arsenal in the summer of 2020 from ATletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, Casimero is gradually warming his way into the Manchester United team. He scored the equalizer as the Red Devils picked a valuable point at Stamford Bridge.

The five-time UEFA Champions League joined the record English champions from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
