Rio Ferdinand's off-air comments after Manchester United's exit from Champions League have emerged as he dismissed being too negative towards the club.
The Red Devils crashed out of Europe after a 1-0 defeat (2-1 on aggregate) against Atletico Madrid as Renan Lodi's winning goal sent the Spanish side through to the quarter-finals. United have come under immense scrutiny in the aftermath of the result as pundits like Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves ripped into their former club.
Ferdinand also didn't mince his words when assessing the club's dire situation. There are claims, however, that due to United's stature, the criticism is heightened and blown out of proportion.
