“They were the lifeblood of United, they all came through the system, all United boys, and that was lost as well.
“That was a part of what the club had been built on before, people who would come through the academy were integral to everything United stood for.
“And they were getting rid of those players willy-nilly, I couldn’t believe the club even allowed it.”
Ferdinand was then asked whether he believes any of those players are still good enough to play for Man United when they left.
“Yes. Welbeck’s good enough now,” he said. “Chicharito 100 per cent, Rafa and Fabio Da Silva, what they did at United they could’ve done that for the rest of their careers, 100 per cent.”
