“What will happen with the remainder of this season? What is the impact on next season? Is it behind closed doors or in front of fans? What’s the impact on broadcast deals, sponsorship deals? What’s the impact on domestic cups?

What’s going to happen to that next season if the season is truncated a little bit to squeeze in Premier League games? Does that have a knock-on on domestic cups? There are many, many moving parts.”

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has backed Paul Pogba to leave Old Trafford.
Ferdinand believes, Manchester United are partly to blame for Pogba's weaknesses.

“Why be a part of that?’ If I was him, honestly…. United fans won’t thank me for it but I’d be thinking that. I think it’s unfair some of the criticism he gets and some of that is based on social media presence which I think is ridiculous.”
