EXCLUSIVERio Ferdinand picks out one star Wayne Rooney missed out in damning assessment of Man United's squad after club legend claimed Red Devils should 'get rid' of most players and build around Bruno Fernandes

Rio Ferdinand has picked out the player that former Manchester United and England team-mate Wayne Rooney missed when the legendary forward suggested the Red Devils should rebuild a new team around Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes is one of a handful of players at Old Trafford to come through this last season with their reputations largely intact after a wearisome campaign for Erik ten Hag's side.

The Portuguese captain has 10 goals and eight assists so far this term, and although he has suffered criticisms of his leadership and attitude at times, he has continued to lead by a sporting example on the field.
