Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick highlights Russian involvement in Arsenal and Everton as he insists 'we need to be very careful about blaming someone' amid crippling sanctions against Chelsea

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has highlighted 'Russian involvement' at Premier League clubs amid the UK government sanctioning Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea's future is uncertain after they were handed a range of restrictions including being barred from signing players and selling matchday tickets and merchandise under the punishment for Abramovich which was announced on Thursday.

The billionaire businessman was blocked from making his proposed sale of the club because of his ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, who ordered the invasion of Ukraine.
