Rio Ferdinand fears Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is set to make a transfer mistake in the final week of the January window. Most of the transfer speculation around Old Trafford has been on outgoings rather than incomings, with Antony leaving to join Real Betis on loan and several other players linked with moves.

Ruben Amorim said he would rather play his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital in his Manchester United team than Marcus Rashford unless the out-of-favor forward starts to "give the maximum every day in training and in life.

The Red Devils have played 11 matches across all competitions since then with Rashford not even being included as a substitute. Speaking at a press conference following United’s win over Fulham, Amorim was asked if Rashford’s inclusion could provide more attacking impetus to the team and he explained why the 27-year-old continues to be omitted.
