Rio Ferdinand has made his position regarding the David de Gea transfer saga clear by urging the goalkeeper through song to stay at Manchester United.

The Spaniard, who is yet to play a pre-season game for the Red Devils due to injury, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.

While the 24-year-old's future remains unresolved, Ferdinand has pleaded with the shot-stopper to stay with the Premier League club by recording a message with KWS's song 'Please Don't Go' playing in the background.

Ferdinand, who spent 12 years at Old Trafford, retired from football this summer following a season with Queens Park Rangers.
