Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has revealed that he asked Arsene Wenger to sign him for Arsenal on a free transfer in 2014.
Ferdinand, now a TV pundit with BT Sport saw his contract expire at United at the end of the 2013/2014 season and had offers to sign for different clubs. Rio Ferdinand during his time at United
Ferdinand joined QPR before retiring at the end of the 2014-15 season having made just 11 appearances during his time in the capital.
The 37-year-old has now disclosed that he reached out to Arsenal boss Wenger, though a move to the club that represented United’s biggest rivals for much of Ferdinand’s time at Old Trafford did not materialise. In response to a poster claiming Ferdinand should have moved to Arsenal on social media site Twitter, the former West Ham and Leeds defender posted: “I did reach out to Mr Wenger!!”
