Trevor Sinclair has hit out at Rio Ferdinand for ordering injury-hit Manchester United defender Phil Jones to 'find a new club' as he is a 'waste of time' at Old Trafford.
Jones has suffered a nightmare few years on the injury table and played for the first time in 19 months in a behind-closed doors friendly against Burnley last week. The centre-back has two years left on his deal from the four-year contract extension he signed in 2019.
Ferdinand claimed the 29-year-old is taking an academy player's spot in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad and slammed the club and the defender for signing the new deal, with Sinclair claiming the ex-United defender went 'over the line' with his comments.
