Rio Ferdinand admits he ‘cannot believe’ Manchester United sold Danny Welbeck as the forward continues to impress in the Premier League at Brighton. Welbeck joined United’s academy at the age of eight and went on to make more than 100 appearances for his boyhood club, winning the Premier League under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The former England international was surprisingly sold to Premier League rivals Arsenal in 2014 and has spent the last five seasons at Brighton. Welbeck, now 33, has been a mainstay in the Brighton team in recent years and scored his 100th career goal on Saturday in the 2-1 win over his former club Manchester United. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #arsenal #premierleague #RioFerdinand #football

Rafa Benitez says he knew ‘100 per cent’ that Nemanja Vidic would choose Manchester United over Liverpool after a phone call with the defender’s girlfriend back in 2005. Then, with Spartak Moscow, Vidic was regarded as one of the top young centre-backs in European football and went on to cement himself as an all-time United great after a trophy-laden eight-and-a-half-year stay at Old Trafford. Vidic won 15 pieces of silverware with the Red Devils under Sir Alex Ferguson but his career could have panned out very differently had he opted to join United’s arch-rivals instead all those years ago. Liverpool made a concerted effort to win Vidic over but the Merseyside outfit went on to complete a January move for Gabriel Paletta after admitting defeat in the race for the Serbian. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #rafabenitez #football #transferwindow

Sir Alex Ferguson has raved about two ‘courageous’ Manchester United stars, saying they represent the ‘heart and soul’ of the club. Last season was one of the worst in United’s long history as they laboured to eighth in the Premier League, their worst finish in the competition. They ended on a high however, beating rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final and things are looking brighter under Erik ten Hag and new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Perhaps the biggest upside was the emergence of several new young stars who look set to be key players at Old Trafford for many years to come. The most notable among them Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, who both scored in the FA Cup final, with the former named Player of the Match. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #mancity #eriktenhag
