United are in urgent need of central defenders after Nemanja Vidic left for Inter Milan and Ferdinand was released by the club at the end of the season.
Ferdinand, who won six Premier League titles in his twelve year spell at Old Trafford, believes that Real Madrid's French centre-half Raphael Varane would be the ideal replacement, although he acknowledged that it would be difficult to prise him away from the Spanish capital.
When asked on Twitter which central defenders he would sign for United, Ferdinand replied: 'Varane…Real Madrid won't sell though.'
Ferdinand also suggested that Van Gaal should look to the United academy to strengthen his defence, with the former England captain championing the qualities of Michael Keane.
He wrote of Keane: '(He) will be a top player one day. Cultured. Eager to learn & be coached. Vital.'
Ferdinand, who is closing in on a move to QPR ahead of next season, also urged United to pursue the club's former midfielder Paul Pogba, who quit for Juventus in 2012 and has now emerged as the world's leading young central midfielder.
