Rio Ferdinand calls on Manchester United to get Marcus Rashford, Antony and Tyrell Malacia out of Old Trafford as soon as possible.
And former defender Ferdinand believes it creates a 'bad energy' in the dressing room when players, particularly Rashford, who don't want to be at the club hang around.
Head coach Ruben Amorim wants a side that continues to set unwanted records but needs a number of high-profile departures before the owners approve new signings.
Ferdinand also suggested Antony will soon sign for La Liga's Real Betis before saying their presence at United is “cancerous” in a week when Alejandro Garnacho is increasingly expected to be sold as well.
“I think Antony is going, someone said to me: Real Betis or something,” Ferdinand said on Rio Presents. “Just take them out, man!
'Sorry, no, I'm just being honest. The more guys like this are around, where there's just a bad noise, they all want to go, they're all happy to go – let's just get them out. Let's start again.
“You know how it is: when there are people who are restless and things don't go according to plan and they're not happy, it spreads. It's like a cancerous, bad energy.”
It is not the first time in recent weeks that Ferdinand has spoken out against Rashford. In December, the former defender said on his YouTube channel that there was “more to it” than the England forward simply deciding he wanted a new challenge, saying it went beyond just football.
Ferdinand added: “I don't think this is just a football decision for Manchester United, there is more to it.” He added: “You have to remember that when this boy came on the scene he was an absolute breath of fresh air, he was a joke. Again, the body language as he entered was what every fan saw themselves as they entered.
“That's been the biggest killer for me, that his body language over the last three years hasn't been what a Manchester United fan sees themselves in a red Manchester United shirt when a goal is scored or when they put a foot on the old foot .” Trafford. His body language was almost depressive, a hermit-like body language.
“The idea is for fans to see the academy products and see themselves there, and anyone who thinks they get a chance to play for Manchester United, at any level in the first team, should shine. is that privilege to leave there.” in that red shirt of the regular.
“Marcus said that, but his body language didn't say that, that was the killer for me. I hope this ends well and everyone walks out and leaves this situation without any cuts or bruises. Marcus' ego has maybe a few bruises.” , but he has a chance to rebuild himself.”
Rashford scored 138 goals and provided 63 assists in 426 appearances for United, winning two League Cups, two FA Cups and the Europa League.
