Rio Ferdinand insists Manchester United and Liverpool could attempt to sign Raheem Sterling if his ‘baffling’ treatment at Manchester City continues.

Once a pivotal player in Pep Guardiola’s side, Sterling has struggled for consistent game time over the last 12 months, starting two of City’s six games this season.

The former United defender discussed Sterling situation on Vibe with Five and admitted he has been left bewildered by Guardiola’s treatment of the 26-year-old.

While Sterling endured a rather acrimonious departure from Liverpool in 2015, Ferdinand insists the Reds would be ready to move for the forward if he were to be made available – along with his former side at Old Trafford.

Ferdinand said: "If I’m Liverpool, I’d buy Sterling tomorrow … If I’m him, I wouldn’t go to Barcelona or Real Madrid right now, that’s why I said Liverpool … Man United will take him!"
