Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has overlooked Kevin De Bruyne and Frank Lampard in naming his top three greatest midfielders in Premier League history.

Ferdinand asserted that De Bruyne does not surpass Steven Gerrard “on any day of the week.”

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents, the former England defender selected Gerrard, Paul Scholes, and Roy Keane as his ultimate midfield trio.

“De Bruyne’s not better than Gerrard on any day of the week,” Ferdinand declared. “I’m sorry, he’s not.”

“I’ve got Vieira, De Bruyne, Lampard, Keane, Gerrard, Scholes — they are my Mount Rushmore, my Holy Grail midfielders,” he continued.

“I’m going to say Vieira, Lampard, and De Bruyne just miss out.”

Meanwhile, De Bruyne is set to depart Manchester City after a decade at the Etihad, while Lampard has since retired from professional football.
