MANCHESTER UNITED legend Rio Ferdinand said he would threaten to sue manager Ruben Amorim if he talked about him the same way he did with Marcus Rashford.

Rashford, 27, has not played for United since December 12, with Amorim, 40, leaving him out of the squad for every game since apart from one, in which he was an unused substitute.

The star forward was once again omitted on Sunday when Man Utd won 1-0 at Fulham and the Portuguese tactician was once again quizzed about the player’s situation at Old Trafford.

The ex-Sporting Lisbon boss then stated he would prefer to have 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital on his bench ahead of the out-of-favour England international.

Amorim said: “The reason [why Rashford is not playing] is the training, what I think a footballer should do in training, in life and every day.

“I will put [in] Vital before I put [in] a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day.”

Ferdinand, 46, insists he would be furious if a manager ever spoke about him like that.

The ex-England international is adamant he would hold a press conference to bash those claims, if they were indeed baseless.

The popular pundit even suggested he would sue the head coach for questioning his “effort” if he was in Rashford’s shoes.

Speaking on his Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, the former United defender said: “If it isn’t true and it was me he said that about, I am coming out all guns blazing.

“I’m holding a press conference, I’m coming out and saying, ‘I’m having no one chat about me like that in the media’.

“But you only come out if you’re 100 per cent sure that nobody can say you take the shortcuts.

“Sometimes I think in these situations, if you’re doing things right, communicate it.

“Because the manager can question how well or bad I’m playing, or my form, but if he’s questioning my effort, I’m sorry, I’m coming back out, next time I’m around any press people – ‘the effort, he needs to take that back or I’m suing him’.

“I would love to sit across the table from Marcus, look in his eyes and go, ‘Can you say that? Could you be confident enough to go out and do that? Because if you can’t, look at yourself’.”

EASTENDERS has released an urgent statement after scammers targeted fans of the BBC soap.

The warning follows similar fraudulent activity aimed at viewers of ITV shows Coronation Street and Emmerdale earlier this week.

EastEnders has released an urgent statement after scammers targeted fans of the BBC soap[/caption]

The show’s official Instagram account posted a message to caution fans about con artists pretending to be affiliated with EastEnders yesterday.

The scam sees fraudsters claiming to represent soap stars or production staff and asking fans for payments in exchange for special interactions, such as meet-and-greets, personalised messages, or set tours.

Fans are encouraged to report any fraudulent contact to the social media platform and to avoid engaging with the scammers.

The statement read: “Please note that no cast member or EastEnders employee will ever make contact to request money for meetings, messages, set visits, or any other interactions.

“If you have been contacted, especially on social media platforms via a direct message or mass message posted to a group, please ensure you report these instances to the relevant platform immediately.

“The EastEnders team.”

EastEnders joins the ranks of other British soaps in battling the ongoing issue, urging the public to remain cautious and reminding viewers that genuine cast or crew members would never solicit money.

It comes after a woman was tricked into giving nearly one million euros to a scammer posing as Brad Pitt.

The victim, known only as Anne, gave over £700,000 to a scammer posing as the Hollywood actor for his cancer treatment as he wrote her poems and proposed to her.

The woman’s lawyer has begged the public for mercy – as their client deleted all of her social media pages due to the scrutiny she faced, reports The Daily Mail.

Paris-based lawyer Laurène Hanna said: “It’s like people are discovering only now that people get scammed.

“Love scams on the internet are not new. Anne is really not the only one.

“What my client needs is to be given some sensible advice and to be treated with dignity.”

It is believed she has been left homeless and penniless from the scam.

THIS is the hilarious moment Conor McGregor size up 7ft 1in NBA star Brook Lopez DURING a game.

The brilliant incident came as Lopez’s Milwaukee Bucks beat the Utah Jazz 125-110 on Monday.

The victory saw the Bucks soar to fourth in the NBA’s Eastern Conference Standings.

But the highlight of the game came when UFC legend McGregor announced himself on the court during a free throw.

The Irishman got the attention of the crowd as he made his way to the Bucks’ bench.

He then made his way along the entire team before coming to a stop opposite Lopez.

The NBA was sat down with a towel over his head.

Yet he was hilariously still taller than McGregor, who stands at 5ft 7in.

‘Notorious’ saw the funny side too as he engaged Lopez in a quick chat.

The basketball player seemed to love the banter though and eventually stood up to completely tower over McGregor before the pair jokingly sized up.

Lopez later lifted the lid on his chat with the MMA icon.

He said: “McGregor asked me how tall I was. I let him know. He asked me to stand up and I did.

“I knew at that point, once I got up, I had to size him up, I had to do a little something. I’ve seen face-offs before so I knew I had to do my part.

“Now, if something’s going to happen, maybe Dame (Damian Lillard) can be my promoter or manager, teach me to fight.

“I’ve got nothing. So I’m really going to rely on Dame for that.”

Fans certainly enjoyed the hilarious clash between Lopez and McGregor.

One said: “Notorious only dude to get away with that s**t.”

Another declared: “Conor can’t reach that height.”

One noted: “McGregor wanted to meet the GOAT.”

Another added: “Should start training.”

CORK goalkeeper Micheál Aodh Martin has called for the return of football’s short kick-out to speed up the game.

While the Rebels stopper feels the sport’s rule changes are “more positive than negative”, he sees the requirement for kick-outs to travel beyond the 40-metre arc as a backward step.

Cork defeated Meath 2-19 to 0-21 in Division 2 on Saturday and Martin said: “There were three short kick-outs in the whole game. We had two, they had one.

“Nearly everything’s going long, there’s a lot of bodies out there and that’s one, I don’t know will they look at it again.

“Because of the other rule changes, the quick kick-out isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the world if they brought that back in. You can’t go back to your keeper, which means it has to go forward.

“It’s nearly slowing the game down at the moment, but look, that’s just an opinion. Some people love the contest. I get that as well.”

Martin had worried about a lack of goals under the new rules but the numbers of one-on-one scenarios in games and training have eased those concerns.

He added: “I would have had a fear a couple of months ago that maybe goals would be gone, with the difference between a two-pointer and a three-pointer.

“But actually what we’re finding so far is that because you don’t really have an option to develop a sweeper, it’s quite a lot of goal chances in every game. There’s a lot more one-v-one battles.

“And the three up means that there’s ten to 15 seconds where lads have themselves versus their man, so lots of goal chances.

“That’s what people ultimately pay in for, to see exciting forwards run at their men and go for goal. There’s more space for forwards, more scores, which is only positive.”

Cork head to Down on Sunday but Martin hopes the opening win over the Royals at Páirc Uí Chaoimh is a sign of things to come on home turf if the Rebels are to mount a promotion push.

He added: “It’s such a tight division. You really have to have a good home record. We haven’t had a good enough home record over the last few years.”
