Paul Pogba's damning assessment of Manchester United's defeat to Leicester City has angered Rio Ferdinand, who has said he 'wouldn't be happy' if he was still his teammate.
Pogba didn't hold back when he was speaking to reporters following his side's crushing 4-2 loss at Leicester last weekend.

The Frenchman claimed Man United 'deserved to lose' and slammed the lack maturity within the team while saying something needs to change.
Speaking after his side's second Premier League defeat of the season, he said: "We deserved to lose.
"We have not found the problem, conceding easy goals, stupid goals.

"We need to be more mature, play with more experience and arrogance in a good way.
"We need to find something, we need to change.
"We need to find the right mentality and the right tactic. Stick with it and resolve the problem."
Pogba's comments don't sit well with former Man United defender Ferdinand, who hit out at the midfielder.
Speaking on his podcast, he said: "I dunno man it doesn't sit well with me when I see that.

"I'll be honest if I was in a changing room and a teammate said I wouldn't be happy.
"I'd be straight in asking him what he meant, what does this mean? Unless I actually agreed with him but I just think Pogba is an honest guy, that's what I like about him.
"He's very passionate, he wants to win. That says to me that there's a frustration, an underlying frustration within the camp there. He's not hiding it, he can't hide it.
"Normally you get bog standard answers [in post-match interviews] but there he said a few things that pose questions."
Pogba's future at Old Trafford has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with the 28-year-old linked with moves to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
