Rayan Cherki Manchester United transfer verdict given after Europa League audition – ‘It’s obvious’

Rio Ferdinand believes Lyon star Rayan Cherki will move to a bigger club in the future amid Manchester United transfer links.

The 21-year-old has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move to some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including those in the Premier League with the French club said to be suffering financially.

Cherki is one of the prized assets at Lyon and continued to show why he has been touted as one of the next big imports to the English top-flight during the dramatic Europa League defeat against Manchester United.

The France under-21 international got on the scoresheet with a brilliant drilled effort into the bottom corner to give the visitors the lead before Alexandre Lacazette extended their advantage to two.

Ultimately, it wasn’t to be for the Ligue 1 outfit after Ruben Amorim’s side staged a memorable comeback.
