Ferdinand was still warmly welcomed by Ten Hag and the squad, who he was surprised to see were in good spirits even after losing two of their three league games up to that point.
And the legendary defender was pleasantly stunned after spotting Rashford and captain Fernandes laughing and joking while performing extra shooting drills.
