Rio Ferdinand urges two Manchester United players to embrace Sir Alex Ferguson advice

Rio Ferdinand has urged Manchester United forwards Antony and Jadon Sancho to follow Sir Alex Ferguson's advice by taking more risks in their performances.

Signed in back-to-back summer windows from Ajax and Borussia Dortmund respectively, Antony and Sancho cost United over £150million combined.

However, while they have both shown glimpses of their unquestioned ability, neither man has shone consistently. Antony and his topsy-turvy displays have particularly come under the microscope this season, despite scoring hugely important goals against Arsenal and Barcelona for example.

Sancho, meanwhile, recently returned from a three-month absence to attend to his physical and mental wellbeing.

"Yeah he has scored a couple of important goals here and there, but if he was honest with himself he would say there is still more to come from him.
