Jose Mourinho may have been all smiles during Sky Sports News HQ's 92Live coverage but he may not be too pleased with Rio Ferdinand's comments today!
The former England defender has urged John Stones to think carefully about his future, suggesting he could become a linchpin in Manchester United's backline instead of a supporting act for Chelsea.
The Everton centre back has been the subject of intense speculation in recent weeks after the Toffees, who insist he is going nowhere, twice rejected big money bids from Chelsea for the 21-year-old.
"If he goes to Man United, he plays every week so that's the right club for him," Ferdinand is quoted as saying in several national newspapers. "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."
