Rio Ferdinand has warned his Leeds United that they are staring down the barrel of a "hard slog" as they try to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Ferdinand was speaking in the wake of Leeds hard-fought defeat away at Leicester City in a clash that saw new manager Jesse Marsch in the dugout for the first time.
The American has been tasked with keeping Leeds afloat in the wake of Marcelo Bielsa's sacking last weekend and things got off to a poor start given they now sit just two points above the relegation zone.
