MANCHESTER UNITED flops are "hammered" in a WhatsApp Group chat containing former stars, Rio Ferdinand has revealed.
Outspoken ex-Red Devils star Ferdinand is rarely slow in offering his opinion about the state of his former club.
And as it turns out, there are several other stars who also seem to share that sentiment in a group chat.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents, with Man Utd women's star Ella Toone, Ferdinand revealed he had a group chat with many of the stars from Ferguson's last great era at Man Utd.
Named "Band of Brothers", Ferdinand namedropped several ex-stars in the group, including Wayne Rooney, Nani, and Patrice Evra.
Stars on the younger end of those squads such as Tom Cleverly, Anderson and Danny Welbeck are present too, while current United star Jonny Evans is also in there.
Ferdinand also revealed that Edwin van der Sar was a recent addition, but joked he may leave the chat soon.
In terms of some of what is said in the chat, the 46-year-old said a lot of the recent chat was them "hammering" the Man Utd men's team.
Although they are not above digging one another out as well, with Evra apparently taking the brunt of the flak.
Ferdinand said: "We hammer each other. Active... it's active constantly.
"Wazza was the last person who spoke in there. It's called 'Band of Brothers'. I can't tell you the next bit, it won't make the cut.
"It's just hammering the United team. Look, lads are just hammering them through the game. 'He's not good enough'. I love it. It just keeps me connected to the lads.
"You've got the younger lads like Tom Cleverley, Danny Welbeck, and then there's Nani and Anderson.
"You know who joined recently? Edwin van der Sar. I think he's going to delete himself soon because the chat ain't for him. I don't think he knows how to send gifs.
"Who else is in there? Jonny Evans is in there, who's currently playing. Some of the stuff that goes on... Patrice Evra gets mullered, hammered all the time. We hammer each other."
Toone, 25, revealed she has a group chat of her own with some of the women's stars who won the Euros in 2022.
However, she admitted that messages are quite rare unless Jill Scott is trying to "sell them something".
She said: "There is a group but hardly anything gets put in unless Jill Scott's trying to sell us something.
"I'm like 'Oh is it Jill, Jill's in the chat again'. Or Jill will put, 'Good luck girls for the game', but it doesn't go off. I want to go off.
In an emotional segment of the interview, Toone opened up on how she had dealt with the death of her father, Nick, who passed away in September.
The Lionesses star has been in electric form for United women since returning from injury in early January, scoring a hat-trick in the Manchester derby before netting again in a 3-0 win over Brighton.
Her exploits, along with a sturdy defence despite the loss of Mary Earps on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, have seen United move up to second in the Women's Super League table.
However, they have some way to go to catch Chelsea, who remain unbeaten and have just added USWNT star Naomi Girma to their squad for a world record fee of £900,000 from San Diego Wave.
The United men's team have fared far worse this season and currently sit 12th in the Premier League table.
A win against Fulham saw them bounce back from a loss against Brighton the week before.
In midweek, United faced Rangers in their penultimate Europa League fixture and won it late on thanks to Bruno Fernandes.
The win put them in a strong position to automatically qualify for the Europa League knockout rounds without the need for an additional play-off round.
In theory, a draw should be enough, but a win will confirm their progress with no issues.
