Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Former Premier League star, Trevor Sinclair has berated Rio Ferdinand for asking Phil Jones to leave Manchester United to pave way for younger players.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand, a former Manchester United star, had told the club\u2019s forgotten defender, Jones to find another club.<\/p>\n

The former England star believes that Jones is now a waste of time at Old Trafford and should have left Manchester United \u2018ages ago\u2019.<\/p>\n

UCL: I fear for Chelsea, Hazard will hunt them \u2013 Sinclair<\/p>\n

He blasted the player for blocking an academy player from being part of the first team.<\/p>\n

After being sidelined with a knee injury for over 18 months, Jones made his comeback in United\u2019s behind-closed-doors friendly against Burnley last week.<\/p>\n

And speaking with talkSPORT, Sinclair noted that there was nothing wrong with Jones aspiring to get back to United lineup or accept his new contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Rio to come out and criticise him and say he should leave the club and he\u2019s holding down an academy player\u2019s opportunity to go into the first team, I\u2019m not happy with Rio about that, I think he stepped over the line for me,\u201d he told talkSPORT.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see a bad egg, I look at him, I think he looks like a good pro, he\u2019s not going to cause lots of problems,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
