Dimitar Berbatov urges Ralf Rangnick to drop Harry Maguire and 'give somebody else a chance' amid the Manchester United captain's defensive struggles... while blasting his former club for their 'UNACCEPTABLE' defeat away at Manchester City last weekend

Dimitar Berbatov has slammed Manchester United for their 'unacceptable' showing away at Manchester City last weekend - while also calling for Ralf Rangnick to take Harry Maguire out of the firing line.

United were trounced 4-1 by their Manchester neighbours on Sunday, a damaging defeat which has reduced their chances of finishing in the Premier League top four this season.

It has generally been a campaign to forget for the club, with Rangnick forced to take interim charge back in December when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was dismissed.
