Rio Ferdinand has firmly denied suggestions that he has put himself forward to become Erik ten Hag's assistant at Manchester United, should the Dutchman be offered the managerial role at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are said to have met with Ten Hag on Monday to discuss the possibility of the Ajax manager replacing interim head coach Ralf Rangnick at the helm.
A recent report claimed that Man United want an ex-player to be Ten Hag's assistant, with Ferdinand allegedly offering his services to the 20-time English champions.
However, the club's former central defender has laughed off the claims on social media.
Who's feeding you this sh*t!

Robin van Persie has also allegedly been shortlisted by the Red Devils for a potential staff role under the leadership of Ten Hag, who is the favourite for the position at Old Trafford.
The 52-year-old reportedly wanted to know the English club's transfer budget for the upcoming market when he met with them earlier this week.
