Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has publicly urged Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni to consider a transfer to Old Trafford this summer.
Recent speculation has heavily linked Tchouaméni with a move to Manchester United, with the club reportedly viewing the former AS Monaco player as the perfect addition to bolster their midfield.
Rio Ferdinand is among those hoping the French international will seriously consider a switch to the Premier League for the upcoming season.
Speaking on his podcast, the ex-United player revealed he has already had private discussions with the 26-year-old, expressing his strong belief that Manchester United would be the ideal next club for Tchouaméni.
“If Tchouaméni has even the slightest hint of leaving that club, Manchester United has to be the first at the door knocking and making sure he can’t even talk to anyone else,” Ferdinand stated. “Tchouaméni, I know we had a few private conversations. I know you watch the show, there’s only one club for you, mate. If you’re thinking of leaving Real Madrid, we’re the club, Man United is the club.”
This message was also shared via a social media post by Ferdinand, which included a tweet stating: “Yoooo Tchouaméni if you are going to leave Madrid… Man United are waiting for you bro!!!”
