Former defender Rio Ferdinand has slammed Manchester United with respect to Paul Pogba's transfer situation.

The Frenchman is likely to leave the club in the summer on a free transfer when his contract expires.

Pogba, who has been at United since signing for £90 million in 2016, has shown no indication of wanting to renew with the Red Devils.

Asked about Pogba, United legend Ferdinand stated on his FIVE YouTube channel: "Business has been done poorly at the club.

"We shouldn't be allowing players to get down to this stage in their contracts. I don't think it should happen.

"Economically, to let someone you've spent £80m, £90m on, plus wages, leave on a free transfer is absolutely criminal. Twice, it's like they've pulled our pants down twice."
