Premier League news: Rio Ferdinand criticises Ralf Rangnick

-

The latest from Old Trafford

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has criticised interim manager Ralf Rangnick for 'airing the club's dirty laundry in public. 

The current BT Sport pundit has also claimed that he should no longer be allowed to address the media. Rangnick has frequently been outspoken in press conferences and has criticised United's recruitment, while he has also hit out at the team's defending and athleticism.  He has one game left in charge of United before continuing as a consultant for the club for the next two years. 

Ferdinand said on his YouTube show: "I donā€™t agree with the way that heā€™s airing the dirty laundry in public while heā€™s still in the hotseat, while heā€™s still in there.

"Itā€™s nice sometimes for fans, you want to get a bit of insight, but thereā€™s information that heā€™s letting out [that he shouldnā€™t be]. Youā€™re still in the job, man, relax, have some respect for the people around you.

"Make waves behind the scenes. Push and pull and jostle for positions and outcomes behind the scenes with people. Iā€™ve said this for a couple of weeks now, heā€™s saying a lot of stuff to almost distance himself from responsibility. But he has to accept some responsibility that the team has got worse since heā€™s been in there."

Ferdinand's comments have caused a great level of debate and discussion. One YouTuber (Thembelihle Sigweje) said: "I agree with Rio on almost everything but this ā€œairing dirty laundry to the publicā€ thatā€™s actually what this embarrassing club needs itā€™s clear the things that happen behind closed doors affect our performance overall. So he has to give this to the people and that automatically makes the ownership responsible for what happens next. 

"Calling out Ralph is literally calling out progress! And I think the reason why we donā€™t have progress is weā€™re too focused on what happened then not now."

All of this comes after another low point in Manchester United's season. They were thrashed 4-0 by Brighton on Saturday.

PSV Eindhoven 1 - 7 Arsenal Arsenal put one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals with a ruthless demolition of PSV. They can still finish this season with a trophy. Author - DJ Stadium - Philips Stadion Mikel Artetaā€™s side were in complete control from the outset, racing into a three-goal lead before half-time before adding four more in a dominant second-half display. With a trip to Madrid now looming, progression to the next stage looks all but secured. PSV had an early glimmer of hope when Ismael Saibari struck the crossbar, but Arsenal quickly took charge. Jurrien Timber opened the scoring in the 18th minute, and within moments, 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri doubled the lead, finishing emphatically after a sharp cutback from Myles Lewis-Skelly. There was a moment of fortune for Lewis-Skelly, who had already been booked, when he escaped further punishment for a foul on Richard Ledezma. Sensing the risk, Arteta swiftly withdrew him, bringing on Riccardo Calafiori before the bre...

Aston Villa 2 - 1 Chelsea New signings Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford combined twice as Aston Villa came from behind to beat Chelsea, grabbing three valuable points in their push for European qualification. Author - Lauren W Stadium - Villa Park An excellent piece of play out wide from Pedro Neto fashioned a ninth-minute opener for Chelsea, with the winger skipping past Ian Maatsen before drilling a low delivery across the face of the goal which only required a slight prod from Enzo Fernandez to turn it past Emiliano Martinez. Although Chelsea appeared to have the upper hand, they failed to maintain control of the match. The introduction of Rashford at halftime proved crucial; he was initially ruled offside, but the video assistant referee overturned that decision. Rashford then assisted Asensio by tapping a Matty Cash cross across the six-yard box, allowing Asensio to score for Aston Villa and level the game. After again being fed by fellow mid-season recruit Rashford, Asensio ...

Manchester United 3 - 2 Ipswich Town Ten-man Manchester United recovered from gifting Ipswich a fourth-minute opener at Old Trafford to come out on top in a five-goal thriller thanks to Harry Maguire's header. Author - Josh T Stadium - Old Trafford It was a rainy night ai Old Trafford This win for United was achieved despite having Patrick Dorgu sent off before the break following the intervention of VAR Craig Pawson after his awful tackle on Ipswich winger Omari Hutchinson.  Within a few moments, Ipswich capitalised on the extra man to level when Jaden Philogene's touchline cross curled in at the far corner as Andre Onana failed to react once Liam Delap had missed it. Maguire gave United the lead again when he powered home Bruno Fernandes' corner two minutes into the second half. This gave Ruben Amorin only his third home Premier League win. He would have been relieved with the win but could have probably done with a more relaxed evening at Old Trafford, So much more...
