    United were linked with a number of players throughout the transfer window but ended up signing three promising British players, the most established of whom being Maguire.<\/p>\n

    And Ferdinand, who himself joined United as a 23-year-old, has been impressed with Solskjaer’s approach to the transfer market.<\/p>\n

    \u201cOle has gone with younger players. James and Wan-Bissaka are two young, young, young players with huge potential. They\u2019re projects,”\u00a0Ferdinand told the Daily\u00a0Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWan-Bissaka a little bit less because he\u2019s played in the Premier League, but James is a nice project for the long-term because he has that youth, that pace that can excite people.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIf he can work on that on the training field, give him a few games, then hopefully he can keep on flourishing.<\/p>\n
