REVEALED: Rio ferdinand identifies manchester united position problem and names transfer priority | Vintage Vibes

Former centre-back Rio Ferdinand believes it is important that Manchester United invest in a new right-sided winger in this summer's transfer window, identifying it as their "problem position."

United thought they had solved their long-term quest to find an established right-winger in last summer's transfer window, bringing Jadon Sancho to Old Trafford from German heavyweights Borussia Dortmund. However, the £72.9million capture produced his best performances on the left last season, meaning he looks set to continue on that side of the pitch this term.

United are well-stocked when it comes to left-sided players, with Antony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Elanga and Sancho all capable of playing there. Rashford, Elanga and Sancho are also all capable of playing on the right, but they are more suited to coming in off the left side.
