Former England defender Rio Ferdinand has suggested that Manchester United should consider signing players from Tottenham Hotspur if the club is relegated this season.
Spurs recently appointed Roberto De Zerbi, but a defeat in his first game against Sunderland and a draw with Brighton on Saturday, April 18 have left them stuck in the relegation zone.
Tottenham currently sit just two points from safety, with six matches remaining, increasing the risk of dropping into the Championship next season.

Several Spurs first-team players are expected to attract interest from Premier League clubs if relegation occurs.
Two Spurs stars for Manchester United
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has identified two players he believes could strengthen the Red Devils ahead of next season’s Premier League and UEFA Champions League campaigns.
According to UK Metro, Ferdinand named Netherlands defender Micky van de Ven and England international Djed Spence as potential targets. He said:
"None right now, no. Can’t think of any that I’d take, especially the way they’re playing now.
"Van de Ven, maybe. Van de Ven and Djed Spence, actually. Djed Spence.”
Reigning Premier League champions, Liverpool, have been linked with a move for the Netherlands international with former United star Ferdinand believing he is an option for his old club to consider.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United striker Louis Saha backed Ferdinand’s view, stressing the need for defensive reinforcements.
The former France international added that Van de Ven has the experience and quality to improve the team’s defensive setup. He said:
"We have players in attacking areas and on the wings, defensively we have a lot of options, but Micky van de Ven would be an exciting addition if he is available.
"He is the calibre of player that can help United to the next level."
