Rio Ferdinand believes that signing Jude Bellingham would not be enough to help solve Manchester United's problems.
During a discussion on BT Sport ahead of the Champions League clash between United and Atletico Madrid, Owen Hargreaves suggested that Bellingham could be a solution to United's woes. Hargreaves said: "They don't have a coach for next season.
"We don't know who the sporting director is. There's a lot of players out of contract, [Paul] Pogba, [Edinson] Cavani. The [Anthony] Martial situation.

"There are five or six player situations at the club that need resolving. When we played, we knew who was going to be signed and who was already in there.
"I'm optimistic because United have the chance to go and get anyone, and most people will want to come here. Get a coach in, get a sporting director. Go and get Jude Bellingham. He's the guy I'd start with, he's young and hungry."
However, Ferdinand was quick to suggest that the youngster may not be the solution to all of United's problems. "I don't necessarily think it's about who you sign, though," he explained.
"I was screaming at the start of the season 'oh we've got [Cristiano] Ronaldo, we've got [Raphael] Varane now'. Big players.

"If the culture at the football club isn't right, it doesn't matter who you bring in. You need a manager that can guide the ship, and United don't have that at the moment. We've seen it enough this season, people walking away from this stadium or anywhere they've played saying 'I didn't get enough out of X, Y or Z player in that game'."
