Rio Ferdinand demands Man Utd sell three players immediately - ‘Just get them out’

Rio Ferdinand has demanded that Manchester United sell Antony, Marcus Rashford and Tyrell Malacia immediately. The Red Devils are currently in the middle of an awful campaign. They sit 13th and just ten points clear of the relegation zone. But Ruben Amorim's squad could look very different come the end of the month, with a host of stars expected to leave. That includes Rashford, who has not returned to the starting line-up under the Portuguese head coach, while Antony is expected to leave - Real Betis closing in on a loan move for the Brazilian.
Ferdinand believes the duo - alongside defender Tyrell Malacia - should be jettisoned sooner rather than later for the benefit of the side. Quizzed about the trio, he said: “I think Antony's going, someone said to me, Real Betis or somewhere like that. Just get them out man!.
“Sorry, no, I'm just being honest. The more these type of guys 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 afresh. “You know what it's like, if there's people who are unsettled in there and it's not going to plan and they're not happy, it spreads. It's like a cancerous, bad energy.”.
Antony’s exit is no surprise given how disappointing he has been since a big-money move from Ajax, while Malacia has constantly struggled with injuries. Rashford in the meantime has featured just once in a matchday squad since being axed against Manchester City.
