Completing the hat-trick of former Manchester United players saying less than complimentary things about the club's current crop, here's Rio Ferdinand's response when asked if he'd like to have played alongside Daley Blind.
Asked by Gary Lineker if he'd have wanted to pair up with the Dutchman in the heart of United's defence, Ferdinand's response was blunt, even by his own admission.
"Blind wouldn't have suited the way I play!" @rioferdy5 believes his style matches that of @ChrisSmalling. #UCLhttps://t.co/cxHWRC6vUU

In fairness to the former England international, suggesting that Blind wouldn't have complimented his playing style isn't quite in the same bracket as Paul Scholes' comments on Anthony Martial or Roy Keane's opinions on Wayne Rooney's trip to the wrestling.
Ferdinand also points out that Blind has helped Louis van Gaal in terms of showing his teammates the style of football their manager expects of them. Explore more on these topics:
