The legendary former defender spent time with the Red Devils and Whites, and believes a switch to Elland Road will benefit all concerned
Daniel James was never "Manchester United standard" says Rio Ferdinand, with the Wales international winger told a £25 million ($35m) transfer to Leeds will prove beneficial to all concerned.
Two-and-a-half years on from missing out on a deadline day switch to Elland Road, the 23-year-old has linked up with Leeds in a big-money deal.
His qualities are expected to sit better in Marcelo Bielsa's plans than they did under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Ferdinand saying a man who made 74 appearances for the Red Devils was never quite ready for the step up from Swansea.
