Rio Ferdinand has criticised Manchester City defender Kyle Walker describing the England international as a ‘liability at the top level’.

The former Manchester United defender was speaking after watching Pep Guardiola’s side lose their unbeaten record at Chelsea last weekend, with goals from N’Golo Kante and David Luiz condemning the champions to defeat at Stamford Bridge.
