Rio Ferdinand claims John Stones he would be a ‘lunatic’ to join Chelsea and has told the young defender he should make Manchester United his next club.
The 21-year-old is understood to be eager to speak to Jose Mourinho about a switch to Stamford Bridge and the Premier League champions are preparing another improved offer.
But Ferdinand has urged the starlet to think carefully about his future and hold out for a move to United, who are also believed to be keen on Stones.
"If he goes to Man United, he plays every week so that's the right club for him," the ex-England captain 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."
