Rio Ferdinand stance on Manchester United director role

Rio Ferdinand admits he is no longer actively looking to take up a director role at Manchester United as he turns his attention to launching a new hate-free digital advertising and social content platform.

Ferdinand, 43, was speaking to the Manchester Evening News to promote WeAre8, a social media platform which is looking to give back to its audience by giving users money whenever they watch adverts on it.

Through watching two minutes of advertisements a day within the app, it is suggested users will be able to 'reclaim their economic power, support charities, help WeAre8 continue to carbon offset and contribute to the development of 8Stage talent.'
