Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is convinced that the Mancunians should not sell team leader Cristiano Ronaldo.

— People say Ronaldo should be sold... But find someone who will score 25 goals a season. Manchester United can't just let Ronaldo go, can't... Even if the Portuguese asks to leave, the team needs to keep him. It's easy for everyone to say: "Ronaldo needs to get rid of him, there's a circus around him, he attracts too much attention..." Perhaps it is, but the old man guarantees goals every season, said Rio Ferdinand.
