dailystar.co.uk:

Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool it wasn't overnight success. It takes time put the building blocks in place to challenge year after year." United host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening having managed a 1-1 draw in the last 16 first leg.Ferdinand believes shock success in Europe's elite competition isn't impossible."They've got to use someone like Chelsea last season as an inspiration," he added. "Once Thomas Tuchel took over that team, nobody expected them to go and win the Champions League, but they went and did it. "If they give the crowd something to shout about in the opening minutes then it can change everything for them."Ralph Rangnick is in interim charge at United until the end of this season.He will then take on a consultancy role for two years while another head coach settles into the Old Trafford hot seat.Ajax boss Erik ten Hag and PSG chief Mauricio Pochettino have been touted as options.Ferdinand thinks both men have the skills to shake things up at the Theatre of Dreams."I don't know Ten Hag, but he's done a great job at Ajax and would bring players through from the academy and integrate them into the team at United," he said."He's also good at getting rough diamonds, polishing them and improving them.

You'll also get a brand of attacking football."With Pochettino I've been lucky enough to spend some time with him. I was really impressed with the way he sees the game.

Look at his record at Tottenham, they got to the Champions League final but then didn't really invest."It'll be interesting to see.
