Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United stars seem to flourish after leaving Old Trafford because the 'shackles are off' once they have departed the club.
A host of first-team stars have found success outside of United, including Scott McTominay at Napoli and Anthony Elanga at Nottingham Forest.
Antony, widely derided as an £86million flop, has made a promising start to life on loan at Real Betis and Ferdinand claims academy graduate Marcus Rashford will also thrive during his temporary spell at Aston Villa.
In response to Jadon Sancho's 'freedom' comment to Rashford on Instagram, which has angered United fans, Ferdinand pinpointed the reason why players appear to prosper after they've left the club.
