Rio Ferdinand has suggested that his former Manchester United teammate Patrice Evra could make a return to Old Trafford this month.

Evra's contract with Juventus will expire at the end of the season and it was reported late last month that the 35-year-old was considering a return to the Premier League.

Over the last 24 hours, social media has been rife with rumours that the left-back could return to Man United, and Ferdinand has added fuel to the fire after posting a message on his Instagram account.

Evra won five Premier League titles and one Champions League during his nine-season spell at Old Trafford, making 379 appearances in all competitions after a 2005 move from French outfit AS Monaco.
