Former England and Manchester United players Owen Hargreaves and Rio Ferdinand told Manchester United to stop chasing Liverpool and focus on rebuilding their side following their UEFA Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night.
The loss ended United's chance of lifting a trophy at the end of the season and once again raised questions about about the future of the club as it lurches from one problem to another. Starting the season as Premier League title contenders according to sections of the media, the club find themselves battling for a place in the top four let alone in the title race.
With no long-term manager in place and the team enduring another wasted season, Hargreaves believes that United need to take a page out of Liverpool's book and find the right person to take over from interim boss Ralf Rangnick in the summer. But to stop focusing on challenging for the title and switch their attention to building a team.
