Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has revealed the “biggest transfer mistake” the Premier League giants have made since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club.
The Red Devils have fallen off since Fergie retired in 2013.
Since that time, United have failed to win any league title and finished in 15th place last season.
Ferdinand has now pointed fingers at player recruitment at Old Trafford.
According to him, United would be in a “different place” had they signed Harry Kane and Declan Rice.
Kane left Tottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich, while Arsenal signed Rice for £105m.
“That’s the biggest mistake they’ve made in the last ten years,” Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
“I honestly think and I’m convinced that if Man United would have got Harry Kane and Declan Rice in that window, they’re in a different place now.”
