Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has likened Liverpool star, Divock Origi to two Red Devils heroes after the striker helped the Champions League holders beat AC Milan 2-1 in their final group game on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Fikayo Tomori put Milan ahead on 28 minutes but goals from Mohamed Salah and Origi gave the visitors all three points.<\/p>\n

Origi, who rarely starts for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side, also scored a crucial goal in Saturday\u2019s 1-0 victory over Wolves in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

And United legend, Ferdinand believes his role is similar to that of former stars Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Javier Hernandez, popularly known as Chicharito<\/p>\n

\u201cDivock Origi is not disheartened when he misses one, he keeps going again and again,\u201d Ferdinand told BT Sport after Liverpool\u2019s 2-1 win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve played with Chicharito [Hernandez] and Solskjaer and the players love them, you need people to come off the bench and have an impact and Origi does that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the club I know the players appreciate Origi. He\u2019s decisive when he comes on, he gets the temperature of the game straight away. With him there seems to be a big shout for an Anfield statue outside!\u201d<\/p>\n
