Speaking on TNT Sports, Rio Ferdinand said: "I don't think Bukayo Saka is world-class because he hasn't done it at the top level, winning trophies in a team like Manchester City.
"You've got to understand and respect and appreciate that, Phil Foden has done this, where the medals are handed out, he's performed. He's done that against the best teams. Consistently.
"For what he does for the team, he's important. Saka needs the opportunity to perform at that platform, that level, consistently and then we'll see where he's at. You can consider him then."
Although no one really asked him, Ferdinand has been talking about Saka a lot recently, mainly arguing that the Arsenal star is not a 'world-class' player.
The ex-Manchester United man previously claimed that Saka can't be considered among the best because he hasn't done it in the Champions League yet.
