David Luiz gives Erik ten Hag plenty to think about with Adrien Rabiot transfer claim

David Luiz has laid out Erik ten Hag's task when ex-teammate Adrien Rabiot eventually signs for Manchester United.

The Red Devils have struck a £15million agreement with Juventus to sign the French midfielder, who Luiz played alongside at Paris Saint-Germain. And while Old Trafford chiefs negotiate personal terms with his mother and agent, Veronique - infamous for her fierce temper and involvement in bust-ups - former United defender Rio Ferdinand has revealed what Ten Hag will need to overcome in order to get the best out of his fourth signing as Red Devils boss, after failing to secure top target Frenkie de Jong.

According to Ferdinand, Luiz opened up to him about Rabiot's difficult personality amid long-standing claims of an attitude problem. That's despite the France international representing two of Europe's biggest clubs in a career which has seen him win a whopping 22 trophies since making his senior debut for PSG a decade ago.
