Jadon Sancho and Antony 'lack imagination' and should be 'killing full-backs', says Rio Ferdinand as he tells the Man United duo to look at Arsenal's Bukayo Saka for inspiration

Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United's wingers 'lack imagination' with Jadon Sancho and Antony not yet showing their top form under Erik ten Hag.

Both players - signed for a combined £158million over the last two summers - started in Sunday's goalless draw against Newcastle United but frustrated with their performances.

Brazilian wideman Antony has scored three goals since arriving at Old Trafford from Ajax, while Sancho showed a few glimpses of his best form during the early weeks of the season before fading again.
