Ramos used Man United in order to get a better contract, says Ferdinand

Sergio Ramos is close to completing a contract extension with Real Madrid, with a higher salary included. This is exactly what ex-Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand believes that the player was looking for all along.

"I believe that Ramos has used Manchester United in order to get a better contract with Real Madrid," Ferdinand told The Sun.

Rio Ferdinand has the same opinion as a lot of the British press, who in recent weeks have turned against Sergio Ramos due to the belief that the possible exit to Man United was only due to a target of getting a better personal situation at Real Madrid.

It must be remembered that, after many weeks of disagreements, Florentino Perez and the player seem close to reaching an agreement for a contract extension, which will see his salary increase to nine million euros per season.
