Raphael Varane AND Harry Maguire may be sold by Manchester United this summer, according to Ferdinand.
According to Ferdinand, Varane AND Maguire might depart Old Trafford this summer.
In a massive summertime transfer purge, RIO FERDINAND has predicted that Manchester United may sell at least two defenders.
Following yet another terrible year, the Red Devils are anticipated to undergo a total roster overhaul.
Additionally, their back line needs work.
Man United had their poorest defensive season since the 1978–1979 campaign in 2021–22, allowing 57 Premier League goals (63).
Ferdinand thinks the club's four primary center-backs, including Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane, might all be sold by the incoming manager Erik ten Hag.
United icon Wayne Rooney remarked on his YouTube show Vibe with Five: "I'm looking forward to seeing what Ten Hag accomplishes in that regard.
"We're referring to Timber, a diminutive center-half who plays for Ajax as a youngster.
I'm curious to see what happens with Varane, Lindelof, Maguire, and Bailly since I predict that one or two of them will be let go.
The quartet came at a combined cost to the Red Devils of over £175 million, but none of them has consistently delivered.
Varane's first season at Old Trafford was even criticized by Ferdinand for making him appear like a "rabbit in headlights."
Even though Lisandro Martinez is a different possibility from Jurrien Timber, who reportedly turned down a move last week, Man Utd have already been connected with a number of players who may fill the role.
Pau Torres of Villarreal is another choice; the team has thought about triggering his £51 million release clause.
Matthijs de Ligt, a center back for Juventus, has drawn interest from the Red Devils as well, but Chelsea, another Premier League opponent, will likely outbid them for his services.
