Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand believes that England cannot win Euro2016 if they continue to struggle with the culture of cliques within the squad.

The former Three Lions defender reveals that only former manager Glenn Hoddle came close to tackle this long-standing problem which generally divides the national team.

He suggests that Roy Hodgson's side will only perform well in France if there are no specific groups and if everyone is on the same page.

"There were cliques from when I first got in," Ferdinand said.

"You had (Alan) Shearer's table and all his mates. You had the Liverpool table and all the dregs like a couple of Arsenal and couple of West Ham like me. Then there was the United table.

"Hoddle was very good and organised though. We were on to something good. All the others no.

"We cannot sit here right now and say they (England) are potential winners. If they win it like Leicester, it will be a great achievement but I don't think there is anything to suggest they are potential winners when you look at the other teams.

"To go forward the players need an environment where there is genuine belief and togetherness to be successful."
