      He formed a solid partnership with Nemanja Vidic and both were regarded as arguably the best in the world in the mid 2000s.
      Ferdinand believes he would cost a world-record fee for a centre-back if he was around these days.
      He told the Vibe with Five podcast: “£100m would be cheap for me in today’s market.
      “£170m, £400,000-a-week. That’s what I’ll be now.”

      Fans were left divided by his opinion of himself, one said: “He cost United £30m 21 years ago, so I’d say he’s not a million miles away from his valuation.”
      Another added: “People underestimate how good this guy was. One of the first ball-playing defenders and the GOAT Premier League centre-back.”
      However, some disagreed: “Rio would be an average in today’s game. Every defender now is better than him on the ball, John Stones makes him look like Titus Bramble.”
      A second replied: “Hope he understands how the modern game has evolved, guy would struggle.”

      Ferdinand began his career at West Ham before being signed by Leeds in 2000 for £18m, which was then a British transfer record.
      After just two seasons he was bought by United for £29.3million with add-ons seeing the figure rise to £33.3million.
      It made him the most expensive British signing and defender again for the second time.
      The £170m that Ferdinand thinks he would be worth today would mean only Neymar’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain for £198m in 2017 would be more pricey.
      The current Brit record is held by Jude Bellingham following his £115m switch to Real Madrid this summer. More

      Wilfried Gnonto is already being lined up for a return to the top level, with Everton considering a permanent transfer.
      And according to The Mirror, Leeds want to sign Diallo as his replacement.
      Although the Whites are yet to announce their new manager, club chiefs want to bring the 20-year-old to Elland Road on loan for the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
      Diallo spent last season on loan at Sunderland, where he became a fan favourite after scoring 14 goals in 42 appearances.

      He is yet to establish himself as a regular first-team player at Man Utd, so Erik ten Hag will likely sanction another loan deal before the upcoming season starts.
      Leeds are also expected to lose Tyler Adams, Rasmus Kristensen, Crysencio Summerville and Robin Koch this summer.
      Adams is being targeted by Aston Villa, while Everton are keeping tabs on Summerville as well as Gnonto.
      Roma are interested in signing Kristensen on a permanent transfer.

      Man Utd transfer chief ‘fuming with Chelsea over Mason Mount talks’ as Todd Boehly names price for England star

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED’S transfer chief is reportedly fuming with Chelsea over the Mason Mount transfer saga.The Red Devils are keen to land the midfielder, 24, this summer as he enters the final 12 months of his Blues contract and has refused all extension offers.
      Mason Mount’s transfer saga to Manchester United continues to rumble onCredit: Getty
      But their three bids so far – for £40million, £50m and £55m – have all been rejected by the Stamford Bridge club.
      And now the Manchester Evening News report that United’s football director John Murtough is growing increasingly frustrated with Chelsea.
      He is said to be annoyed and taken a dim view of their policy to communicate the United bids through to the media.
      To make matters worse, Todd Boehly continues to hold out for a whopping £65m for the 36-cap England international.

      The Chelsea owner would likely accept £58m with £7m in add-ons, too.
      However, United may struggle to meet that fee with the MEN adding that Murtough’s “hands are tied” due to the financial state of the Old Trafford side.
      The Red Devils do not think Mount is worth as much as Chelsea are demanding, especially given his desire to leave and short contract length.
      And United know they cannot overspend – because their priority remains landing a new central striker.

      It is thought if the Mount negotiations fail with Chelsea to develop – personal terms have already been agreed – then Erik ten Hag has four possible alternatives to the midfielder lined up, although Mount is the favourite.
      Ten Hag even held video calls with some transfer targets to discuss possible moves.
      Declan Rice has previously been linked with Old Trafford.
      But the West Ham skipper looks on course to join either Manchester City or Arsenal.
      Adrien Rabiot, meanwhile, may opt to extend his contract at Juventus, with his current deal expiring on Friday.
      Moises Caicedo of Brighton is another option – but he would not be cheap with the Seagulls rejecting an offer of £75m from Arsenal in January. More

      Man Utd transfer blow as Napoli star Victor Osimhen opens talks over new mega-money contract with Serie A giants

      MANCHESTER UNITED’S pursuit of Victor Osimhen has hit the rocks with the striker opening talks over a new deal with Napoli, it’s been claimed.The Nigeria international spearheaded Napoli’s charge to their first Scudetto in over 30 years last season, scoring 26 goals in 32 Serie A appearances.

      United are long-term admirers of the 24-year-old and view him as an alternative to Tottenham skipper Harry Kane.
      But they could be forced to turn their attention elsewhere as fresh talks over a bumper new deal for Osimhen, who is said to earn around £95,000-a-week at the moment, are reportedly underway.
      Sky Italia claim Osimhen’s agent recently discussed a new deal with Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis – who doesn’t want to sell the striker on the cheap.
      Osimhen has two years left on his current contract at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

      But he recently suggested he could extend his stay in Naples, telling TG5: “‘I’m at a great club and my career is growing constantly.
      “I am already at one of the biggest clubs and I could not ask for more. Forza Napoli always!”
      United’s potential pursuit of Oshimen could, however, be aided by his desire to play in England’s top flight.
      He said: “I think playing in one of the top five leagues in the world (Serie A) is an amazing feeling for me.

      “I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday.

      And it is understood the Red Devils boss is open to offers for the Swedish forward.
      Now the Daily Mail report Borussia Dortmund are considering going in with a bid.
      The Bundesliga giants are keen to reinvest some of the £115million they received from Real Madrid for Jude Bellingham.
      But it could only take £10m to convince United to sell their academy graduate, who joined the club aged 12.

      Elanga’s Sweden team-mate Emil Forsberg wanted him to sign for RB Leipzig.
      The United ace was also linked with West Ham alongside Harry Maguire and £40m as part of a possible deal to try and land Declan Rice.
      However, now it looks as though Dortmund are in pole position.
      Boss Edin Terzic is keen to bolster his attack and it appears Elanga could be targeted.

      That is despite the winger’s disappointing campaign last term.
      He managed 26 appearances in all competitions – including just seven starts – and failed to register a single goal for the Red Devils.
      Elanga did manage two assists but will no doubt feel he could have had a better return.
      He remains part of the international set-up for Sweden, though, and scored against New Zealand in the end-of-season fixtures before coming off the bench again as a late sub against Austria.
      But speaking in March, Elanga remained positive about his situation at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag – who prefers Antony on the right wing.
      Elanga told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet: “It is frustrating. You want to play, it’s important. But whether you play or not, it’s up to the coach not me.
      “I know what he wants me to do and I just keep training hard. When the opportunity comes, I just have to be ready to take it.
      “We have a lot of conversations, not only about [the gametime] but also what is happening around. That’s the good thing, we talk a lot and they help me a lot.” More

      The property, in Bowdon, Cheshire, has a games room, a home office, a gym and staff accommodation and is billed as the “perfect family home”.
      The listing will fuel speculation the forward is preparing to leave the Premier League to join a foreign club on loan.
      Yesterday, The Sun revealed Greenwood, 21, had had a private training session at a public sports centre in Manchester.
      He has not played since January last year — when he was arrested after a woman made allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

      He was due to stand trial this year but all the charges were dropped in February.
      Greenwood is still on the books at United, despite being suspended.
      The club is yet to make a decision on his future and is still to complete an internal investigation.
      It is unlikely it will try to sell him during the current transfer window.

      But the home listing will fuel rumours that the £50million striker will go out on loan.
      United are said to have had contact with Italian teams Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan about a move.
      Reds boss Erik ten Hag and most first team players are said to be willing to give Greenwood, who is expecting a baby with his partner this summer, another chance.
      But executives would be afraid of the commercial implications. More

      According to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are interested in New England Revolution ace Petrovic.
      However, the Manchester giants have yet to make contact with the 23-year-old’s camp.

      Ten Hag, though, will need to add an understudy after Jack Butland’s loan ended and he joined Rangers.

      The Dutch tactician is also likely to lose Tom Heaton, who will look for more regular minutes, and Dean Henderson with Nottingham Forest determined to turn his loan into a permanent deal.
      Petrovic has stood out in the US ever since his arrival last year and has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs as well.
      The Serb has a contract until 2025, with a one-year option to extend, and New England Revolution would seek a high fee.
      The youngster arrived from Serbian outfit Cukaricki, with whom he played in the Europa Conference League.

      Petrovic joined the American outfit as a replacement for current Arsenal ace Matt Turner.
      He is now considered as one of the best goalkeepers in the MLS as he kept seven clean sheets in 21 appearances last season and also saved four penalties.
      That led to the MLS Save of the Year award, while he also finished as runner-up for the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year gong behind Philadelphia Union’s Andre Blake.
      This season Petrovic has registered six clean sheets in 17 matches across all competitions. More
