Former West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand has urged Declan Rice to ignore Manchester United.

Both Manchester clubs and Chelsea are all said to be keen on acquiring the England star's services this summer.

Ferdinand told The Sun: "Man Utd isn't the place to go right now. They're going through a massive transitional period.

"For me personally, if I'm Rice, Man Utd is not a place that I'd be going. I'd wait a few years and see what Ten Hag does.

"Whether he can implement what he did at Ajax at Man Utd and get them looking more like a team that can challenge.

"Otherwise, what's the point in leaving West Ham to go somewhere you're not even challenging for a title.

"You're challenging to get into Europe. That's what West Ham are doing - challenging to get into the Champions League.

"We've got something to build on. He'd be in the same place at Man Utd and all it would come down to is the stature of the football club.

"As a footballer myself, I'm not going somewhere just because it's a bigger club.

"You've got everything at a club where you're loved and you're the main man."
