Despite losing to Arsenal in the Premier League tonight, one player in particular would have impressed Ferdinand with his performance.
Wolves gave a valiant effort against title chasers Arsenal but were beaten 2-0 on the night as goals on the stroke of half-time and full-time from Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard handed them a defeat.
Ferdinand knew it would take a monumental performance to get a result from tonight’s game.
The Wanderers arrived depleted by injuries and only had 10 senior outfield players fit for the clash, naming 15-year-old Wesley Okoduwa on the bench.
The latest casualties he suffered to his squad came after the Nottingham Forest game as Nelson Semedo and Matheus Cunha, two key players for Wolves, were unavailable tonight.
As a result, Ferdinand started 20-year-old Tawanda Chirewa up top, who impressed alongside Hwang Hee-Chan, as did another hardly-used player in the middle of the park.
Boubacar Traore impressed in midfield against ArsenalBoubacar Traore made his fourth Premier League start of the season against Arsenal tonight.
The Malian midfield destroyer was deployed next to Tommy Doyle and Joao Gomes in midfield, as Mario Lemina dropped to the bench.
