He went on a cringe mad rant to
'GOAL'-
Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United "got what they wanted" this season having climbed above Liverpool in the table but urged his former side to "recruit well" this summer.

So let's recap on his
'cold facts' progress nonsense
-
Both teams were out the title race in January when City effectively won the league at Anfield.
Utd crashed out of the CL, needing only a point from the last three games to qualify. And then failed to win the Europa. Giving them as successful a season as L'pool had. Champions League qualification through the league.
But this absolute nincompoop is claiming it's a
'cold fact' Utd are now in front of L'pool. A United team, lest we forget, which had it's second-best season since Ferguson retired that finished a
WHOPPING five ..... that's
FIVE, points ahead of a L'pool side who had a major dropoff due, in no small part, that they went through
20+ different CH partnerships alone! Aside from everything else they had to overcome. Jesus, you fell apart through the last few weeks with no Maguire. Who's absolute dogshit to start with. Imagine just
how far down the table you'd have been without any of your top 3 CH's since November?
Utd used to (rightly) laugh their ***** off at us for saying similar through much of the PL era. When we'd finish top 4 and start thinking we were only a couple of players away etc. When, in reality, we were
NOWHERE near Ferguson's teams. The same as this Utd vintage is to L'pool and City in reality. Nowhere F near either! Unless you happen to be this humongous gobshite then the former of which they've
'gained so much ground on' and overtaken.
If he honestly believes that's '
progress' and Utd are anything but a team for us to mock whilst we set about the only serious challenges from down the road, City .....
Then yeah, we are sat here laughing our collective ***** off at your delusions too Rio mate.
Soz abar us, like City last year (albeit with far more mitigating circumstances) for having a natural dip season, after 2/3 superhuman ones, and sinking back to Utd's level.
What is it with the F horrendous standard of punditry these days and their complete inability to use any context in anything?
