Rio Ferdinand wants Antoine Griezmann, Gareth Bale at Manchester United

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand wants the Red Devils to sign both Real Madrid's Gareth Bale and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann this summer.

Rio Ferdinand has told Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to pursue both Antoine Griezmann and Gareth Bale at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

Atletico Madrid forward Griezmann continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, with the Red Devils said to be preparing a big-money move for the Frenchman next summer.

Ferdinand, however, has insisted that his former club also have the funds to sign Bale from Real Madrid and wants the Welshman to join Griezmann in Manchester for the 2017-18 season.

"Manchester United have got the money, I'd go get both," Ferdinand told Squawka. "They're great players but I don't think they're comparable to be honest. They're different players. Gareth could play anywhere across the frontline. He'd be effective anywhere – from the right to the left, central."

Man United will look to book their spot in the final of the League Cup when they travel to Hull City for the second leg of their semi-final on Thursday night, holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg at Old Trafford.
