Rio Ferdinand believes that Everton defender John Stones should join
Manchester United over Chelsea if he is given the chance to move to Old
Trafford.
The defender has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea and reports have suggested that the Premier League champions have failed with two bids.
However, Ferdinand thinks that Stones would develop quickly at his former club, with United who are also rumoured as one of the admirers of the 21-year-old.

"If he goes to Manchester United he plays every week, so that's the right club for him, I think," he said.
"If he goes to Chelsea, he's not playing every week.
"He's at that stage of his development where he wants to play every week. If you say to any young footballer to leave a club to sit on the bench, you've got to be a lunatic. You have to be.
"I'd buy John Stones if I'm Man United. You're buying someone who's going to give you ten years' service. He's a great prospect — the best young centre-half in the country at the moment. It's a no-brainer for me."
