Manchester United hero Rio Ferdinand has slammed Liverpool and their pundits in the media.

Liverpool were humbled by Bournemouth on Saturday just six days after thumping Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield.

Reacting to the result, Ferdinand said on FIVE: "That is a small club mentality. That screams small club."

Ferdinand also hit out at ex-Liverpool players Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness for over-celebrating Liverpool's shock thrashing.

He added: "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."
