Ferdinand slams Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard for posting changing room dance
Former United defender lays into Pogba and Lingard for sharing post of pair dancing in Carrington changing rooms as they fight for Champions League spot
RIO FERDINAND has taken a swipe at Manchester United pair Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard.
Pogba shared a video of the duo in the dressing room on Instagram as they prepare for Wednesday night's Premier League clash against Hull at Old Trafford.
But Ferdinand was having none of it. The former United skipper suggested they should be thinking about winning trophies before posting dance routines on social media.

Ferdinand said: "I'm all for having a bit of fun on social media but when your're sixth in the league and you're not in the Champions League positions and you're fighting."
The former United defender, who won six Premier League titles and the Champions League during his 12 years at Old Trafford, was asked if this would have happened during his time at the club.
The 38-year-old bluntly replied "No, because you haven't won anything, when your're winning, that's when you go out and start doing stuff like that.
"I've dug out Arsenal players for things like this before and it would be wrong of me not to speak about the United players.
"I'm all for having fun and part of Pogba's appeal is that he's a happy free spirit which I wouldn't want to take anything away from, but there's a time and a place."
Ferdinand went on to say: "If that (clip) comes out after reaching a cup final, winning a cup final or winning a league, I'd be pushing that out all over the gaff, I'd be the first one to be doing that.
"Looking at myself and the way I would have been thinking about it, sixth in the league and we haven't got our hands on any silverware, I'd want to keep myself under the radar a little bit."
United face Hull at Old Trafford looking to close the gap on the top four, who all dropped points on Tuesday evening.
