Rio Ferdinand struggling to sell mansion

Rio Ferdinand has sliced £700,000 off the asking price of his mansion just a month after putting it on the market.

The Premier League star put his house up for sale at £4.5 million this summer, after deciding it was time to move on from Manchester United.

Now Rio has cut that to £3.8million in the hope a new United signing will buy it, reports the Sun.

The property is in the traditional footballer's territory of Alderley Edge, and boasts some of the usual footballer features - such as a pool, jacuzzi, gym, solarium, and a games room - which comes complete with a bar.
