Rio Ferdinand names the four signings Man Utd must make for Ruben Amorim at all costs

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has named the four players that Ruben Amorim has to sign if he wants to fix the club.

After 31 Premier League matches, United find themselves 13th in the table, putting them well on track for their worst finish since the competition began in 1992.

Despite the introduction of Ruben Amorim as the club's new manager in November, the Red Devils have been massively disappointing this season, failing to win consecutive Premier League games.

But, ahead of the transfer window reopening in June, club legend Ferdinand has named the four players that Amorim must target if he wants to turn things around.

United have been linked with several big names ahead of the window opening on June 1, as it is clear that there are several areas of the team that must be improved in the immediate future.

Although United are far from challenging for big trophies, the club's history will allow Amorim to attract some big names in the summer, and Ferdinand knows exactly who he should look to sign.

Speaking on his Rio Ferdinand Present channel, the former England defender said: "I agree with Gary Neville that they need five players, I think they need four or five players but they will be constrained by PSR.

"I want a centre midfielder to play alongside Ugarte, that player needs to be able to take the ball and transfer it through to the Bruno's and the strikers.

"And you know who I'd go for? Adam Wharton."

Ferdinand then explained that he felt the club must bring in a striker ahead of next season, likely to replace both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee who have failed to impress throughout the season.

"[Victor] Osimhen. And I know, sorry Napoli and Galatasaray, if i'm Man United, Osimhen comes to Man United next year, I'm making it happen," Ferdinand claimed.

But the pundit doesn't feel that one striker would be enough to fix United's problems up front, as he also recommended the club should look to sign in-form Wolves striker Matheus Cunha.

He added: "Another one I'd go and buy is Cunha. He's made it clear that he wants to leave so I'd go and get Cunha."

Finally, the 46-year-old believes that Amorim should turn his attention to United's back line and bring in a new star defender in the summer.

"You know who else I'd go and get? [Jeremie] Frimpong at right wing back," Ferdinand said.

The United legend's co-host voiced concerns over the Dutchman's defensive abilities, but it was clear that Ferdinand was sold on the Beyer Leverkusen star.
