Rio Ferdinand says that Manchester United will have to follow Arsenal's example with Mikel Arteta as they prepare to embark on a new management regime. Ralf Rangnick is currently in charge as manager until the end of the current season, but they have since announced the appointment of Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their next hire.
Manchester United have struggled for the best part of a decade since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club, with four permanent managers unable to restore the team to the top of the Premier League. And current struggles have left the club unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League, with Rangnick's side currently seventh in the table and facing an uphill battle if they are to grab a top four slot.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have navigated some difficult stretches under Arteta - including three defeats in a row at the beginning of the season - to have put themselves in with a good chance of sealing a top-four place. And former Man United defender Ferdinand says that his old club will have to be patient and trusting with the next manager as Arsenal have done if they are to break the current cycle.
