Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick insists 'we need to be very careful about blaming someone' after Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was hit by crippling sanctions as he highlights Russian involvement at Arsenal and Everton

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has urged caution over 'blaming someone' for Chelsea's plight after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK Government amid links to Russia president Vladimir Putin.

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.
