Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has slammed Liverpool for having a small club mentality after they followed up their 7-0 win over Manchester United with a shock 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

Speaking to FIVE, the former Manchester United defender said: “That is a small club mentality. That screams small club.”

He then took aim at Graeme Souness and Jamie Carragher by adding: “The way Souness and Carragher were celebrating, the way they were trying to antagonise the guys [Roy Keane and Gary Neville], and then their team goes and does that at the weekend.

“They should be ashamed of themselves.”
