Ferdinand slams McTominay exit
Rio Ferdinand has hit out at his former club for agreeing to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli.
McTominay is on the brink of sealing a £25m switch to thr Italian giants.
But Ferdinand thinks that the Scot’s consistency will be missed at Old Trafford.
He told his show: “It really doesn’t sit well with me. To replace him you’re going to have to spend £30m or £40m and give him £150,000 a week probably.
“It’s not going to be cheap and it’s a gamble, you don’t know what you’re going to get, whereas with McTominay you know what you’re getting.
“He might not always be a 9/10, but invariably he’s a solid 7/10 and sometimes he will be an 8/10 and get you a goal.”
PHIL THOMAS: United finally replace Roy Keane
Nearly two decades have passed since Roy Keane led Manchester United into battle for the final time.
It left a gap in the engine room that the Red Devils have never really come close to filling in the 19 years that have followed.
Many tried and some managed it in flashes and, although the trophies still rolled in for a time, there was no snarling, bring-it-on warrior prowling the midfield.
Until now… until the imminent capture of a man who views a 50-50 challenge like a starving Labrador staring at a side of ham.
For three months, United have licked their own lips at the prospect of a midfield marshalled by Uruguayan tough guy Manuel Ugarte.
Finally, it appears, they are getting their man.
Rooney’s Plymouth misery
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney continues to have a tough time of it as the Plymouth Argyle manager.
Rooney’s Argyle took on former Man Utd teammate Tom Cleverley’s Watford in the Carabao Cup this evening.
It was Watford that came out on top with a 2-0 victory, knowing Plymouth out of the competition in the second round.
A chorus of “sacked in the morning” could be heard from the stands after the second goal went in.

Sterling deal ‘up to United’
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that a swap deal for Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho is “up to Man Utd”.
The Red Devils are looking to offload Sancho with Juventus another club interested.
Chelsea are said to consider Sancho “an opportunity” for a swap deal with Sterling.
United would, of course, have to be keen to take Sterling the other way for a deal to go through.
