Rio Ferdinand has suggested that Sergio Ramos's rumoured move to Manchester United will never happen and instead smacks of the Spaniard's agent trying to secure a better contract at Real Madrid.
The Spanish defender is currently being linked with a move to Old Trafford, but the former Red Devils defender believes that it is all a smokescreen.
"Ramos to Manchester United? It ain't happening. He ain't going to Manchester United," Ferdinand said, according to Goal.com.
"He's at Real Madrid with, I think, a new contract coming up. Maybe the agent is putting [rumours] out saying he wants [to leave] so Real Madrid come back in with a bumper offer and he signs on the dotted line. Happy days."
The Premier League club reportedly had a £35m bid turned down for the defender earlier this week, as Louis van Gaal allegedly looks to strengthen his backline this summer.
