Rio Ferdinand slams Manchester Utd players and their 'awful' body language during derby defeat

Rio Ferdinand has blasted the current Manchester United squad following their humiliating defeat to neighbours City, saying 'they all just want to be mates!'

Ralf Rangnick's side slumped to a 4-1 defeat to Premier League leaders City on Sunday afternoon, and had moments in the second-half when the ball possession was 92 per cent in favour of the hosts in blue.

Ex-Manchester United duo Roy Keane and Gary Neville were scathing of United afterwards - and former defender and captain Ferdinand described the body language of the players as 'awful', particularly in a derby game.
