Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes Arsenal players are going backwards under manager Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at West Ham United on Wednesday night in the Premier League.

He told BT Sport: "If I'm an Arsenal fan I'm sitting there and asking the question "where is the progress over the last few years?"

"Tell me where the progress is with this side because that's what you look for year in and year out. You look for progression within a football club, within a team [and] I don't see it.

Ferdinand added: "I see players going backwards. I don't see players improving dramatically under this regime and that is the worrying part for me.

"And when you look at this Arsenal team and the history of Arsenal, even Arsene Wenger's early tenure at the club it was about trophies, it was about winning and competing for titles, for leagues. They are not doing that now. They are fighting for one or two positions in the Champions League."
