Rio Ferdinand admitted he fears for the future of one Manchester United player set to lose his shirt number to new signing Matheus Cunha.
United confirmed the £62.5million arrival of Cunha after striking a deal with Wolves and the forward is set to complete his move once he returns from international duty.
The 26-year-old will become Ruben Amorim's first arrival of the summer after United triggered his release clause, and he will sign an initial five-year contract.
Cunha was spotted leaving the Lowry Hotel in Salford with his pregnant partner on Sunday afternoon before joining up with his Brazil team-mates.
Desperate to address his side's lack of goals, Amorim moved quickly to swoop for Cunha, but his arrival could all but guarantee a current United ace makes way.
The man in question, of course, is Marcus Rashford, who joined Aston Villa on loan in January after a breakdown in his relationship with the United head coach.
Delivering his verdict on Cunha's signing, Ferdinand told his TikTok followers: 'One of the few players I mentioned a few weeks ago, if I had a shopping list, he would be on there. He knows the Premier League, so he doesn't need any adaptation time.
'This is a huge factor. I think if you're going to go and buy players from foreign leagues, players that don't have the experience in the Premier League, there is always a risk. He has the experience here. We've seen him here.
'He grew up a Man United fan.
'I'm hearing he's taking the No 10 shirt, which was Rashford's shirt. What does that mean for Marcus Rashford? I don't know.
'There are a lot of questions that will be asked about that as well.
'17 goals, six assists in 36 games for a Wolves team, I think it's impressive. I think the recruitment team for Manchester United would have seen, and the coaches here would have seen, what he did to Man United at Old Trafford.
'He was slicing through Man United like a hot knife through butter.'
According to recent reports, Rashford's hopes of securing a permanent departure from United have been dashed with Barcelona unwilling to meet his £40m price tag.
Barcelona sporting director Deco admitted he 'likes' Rashford last month and the forward is up for sale, with the Catalan giants seemingly his dream destination.
The 27-year-old impressed during his brief loan spell with Villa, scoring four goals and registering six assists in his 17 appearances under Unai Emery.
His promising displays were curtailed by a hamstring injury, though.
