MANCHESTER UNITED target Jadon Sancho has dropped a cryptic transfer hint with his actions on social media.
The England international retweeted a post highlighting comments by Rio Ferdinand.
The United legend has claimed he would like to see Sancho in a Red Devils shirt next season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to have made the 18-year-old a top target for this summer.
Manchester United are looking to strengthen in key areas including in attacking areas on the right.
On Sancho, Ferdinand told Goal: “I would take him [at Manchester United] all day. English, young, hungry and talented, that's all I need to know.”
He added: “I have known Jadon since he was a kid, knew him through friends.
“I have known his family since he was a kid, before he was even born.
“He has got the mentality. The mentality is a big part of it all, whether he has the physical attributes or not.”
