Rio Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand has called on Manchester United to sign Jeremie Frimpong this summer as the Bayer Leverkusen star continues to be linked with Liverpool.

It was reported last month that the Reds had opened initial negotiations with representatives of the 24-year-old.

However, the ECHO understands such claims were premature, and Liverpool are continuing to formulate their approach for the forthcoming summer transfer window.



The La Liga giants failed in a bid to sign the England international for a cut-price fee during the January transfer window.

Ferdinand has also called on United to sign Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace.

The midfielder has impressed in the Premier League since joining the Eagles from Blackburn Rovers and has also been linked with a move to Liverpool in the past.

"I would sign another central midfielder this summer to play alongside Manuel Ugarte," he said.
