Rio Ferdinand has shut down Owen Hagreaves' claim that Manchester United should start their rebuild by signing Jude Bellingham.

The Borussia Dortmund starlet has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, having turned down the Red Devils in 2020 when he left boyhood club Birmingham. With United looking to improve on their recent recruitment record ahead of the summer transfer window, Hargeaves picked out Bellingham as a starting point, but Ferdinand was focused on the wider issues at the club.

"They don't have a coach for next season. We don't know who the sporting director is," Hargreaves began on BT Sport ahead of the Red Devils' Champions League round-of-16 second leg against Atletico Madrid. "There's a lot of players out of contract, [Paul] Pogba, [Edinson] Cavani. The [Anthony] Martial situation. There are five or six player situations at the club that need resolving.

"When we played, we knew who was going to be signed and who was already in there. I'm optimistic because United have the chance to go and get anyone, and most people will want to come here. Get a coach in. Get a sporting director. Go and get Jude Bellingham! He's the guy I'd start with, he's young and hungry."
