Ex-Man Utd defender Ferdinand attacks Moyes (again) over RvP

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has taken another swipe at David Moyes. Ferdinand claims Moyes favoured Wayne Rooney over Robin van Persie last season.

Speaking in his role as a BBC World Cup pundit, Ferdinand explained: "When Sir Alex Ferguson left, he went from being the star man, our go-to guy, the top scorer, to being almost like a sideshow.

"I think that the dynamics changed. The manager, David Moyes, was talking up Wayne Rooney and forwards need to be loved. And I don't think he felt that love last season."
