Ex-England boss Taylor: Man Utd's Ferdinand won't get back

Former England manager Graham Taylor says Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has lost it.

Taylor claims Ferdinand has "lost his legs" and would never play to his previous standard again.

Speaking on BBC Radio Five Live, Taylor said: "What I am going to say will probably surprise a lot of people, but I think Rio Ferdinand has lost his legs. He struggled to keep up with Fernando Torres in Manchester United's game against Liverpool last week and I just don't think he is - or will be - the wonderful player he once was."
