Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand doesn't see Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos moving to Old Trafford.

The 29-year-old Spanish international has been strongly linked with a move to the Red Devils but Ferdinand feels that Ramos is most likely vying for an improved deal at Real.

Ramos was also linked with Manchester City this week but Ferdinand suggests it is simply a ploy by his agent to land a lucrative extension at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ferdinand said on his official YouTube channel: "Sergio Ramos to Manchester City? He was going to Man United the other day, now he's going to Man City...!

"The agent's flying, he's doing well. He's putting him with two of the biggest clubs in terms of financial power.

"I still can't see it. I think he'll stay at Madrid, where he'll play alongside Raphael Varane or Pepe next season.

"Unless they've got another Varane coming through, I can't see them letting him go. "It's a lot of money to spend on a guy who is 29 with no resale value but why's he going to go to Manchester City before United? It doesn't make sense to me, I don't understand it."
