West Ham want to bring back Manchester United duo Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick this summer

According to Sports Rooter, West Ham want to bring back Manchester United duo Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick this summer.

The Hammers are looking to offer a short term deal to Rio Ferdinand if Manchester United do not offer him a new contract. The centre-back made 158 appearances for West Ham before signing for Leeds United .

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce is also interested in signing Michael Carrick, who is said to be a player David Moyes may be ready to offload with the others who could be part of a major clear-out.

The 32 year old midfielder has only over a year left on his current contract and the fact that no new deal has been offered may be a sign that the he is no longer a part of David Moyes’s plans.

Carrick also spent five seasons with West Ham making 159 appearances before he left the club for Tottenham back in 2004.
