Rio Ferdinand reveals the two players Manchester United 'should NEVER have allowed to leave'... as he blasts his former side for permitting their 'best defender' to depart

Rio Ferdinand has revealed two players he thinks Manchester United were wrong to sell.

United's mixed season continued at the weekend as they lost the Manchester derby to rivals City, despite leading early on and not going behind until 10 minutes from time.

They sit sixth in the Premier League table and 11 points off a Champions League spot, with it unclear what the future holds for the Red Devils following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's investment.

The club have had a difficult time of things in the last few years, and this season has felt somewhat like a campaign of transition as the side deal with a number of injuries, particularly in defence.
