Rio Ferdinand is being offered big money moves to the MLS this summer.

The former England defender, 35, is a target for several US clubs who are trying to lure him to become the league’s biggest star since David Beckham.

Manchester United stalwart Ferdinand is telling pals that the MLS is now likely to be his next career move, if he carries on playing, as he appears to be on his way out of Old Trafford.

His one-year contract is running down and he is not certain to be offered a new deal. But his stock has never been higher in the US and he is giving it serious consideration.

Ferdinand could have gone to the States last summer but stayed at United, although he has not played regularly under new manager David Moyes.

The centre-back, in his 14th year at United, will also have a big offer to retire and become a full-time pundit with BT Sport.

But MLS clubs are keen to get him to move there and he is telling pals that he is ready to go in the summer.

Former England captain Beckham is trying to set up his own MLS franchise in Miami by 2017.
