Rio Ferdinand claims the crisis at Manchester United has only worsened since Ralf Rangnick replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the dugout.

The Old Trafford legend was speaking after United were beaten 3-1 at Arsenal on Saturday afternoon to deliver what appeared to be a fatal blow to their top-four hopes. Rangnick was appointed interim manager at the end of November after Solskjaer was sacked earlier that month following a disastrous run of results.

But the humiliations have continued to come thick and fast since the German took over, with the Red Devils losing 4-0 at Liverpool on Tuesday prior to their Emirates defeat. Speaking after the loss in North London, an abject Ferdinand voiced his fears United have gone backwards under Rangnick.

"Being brutally honest, Rangnick has come in and it has got worse," the former England defender told BT Sport before ruling United out of the top-four race, adding: "Yeah, that is it for the top four. Manchester United have absolutely no chance, it's done."

While Ferdinand was hugely dejected after United's display, he preceded his criticism of Rangnick by congratulating the hosts on their victory. "First of all, credit to Arsenal," he said. "They got the job done, by no means a top performance today
