Rio Ferdinand got Sir Alex Ferguson hairdryer treatment after "screaming" about decision

Rio Ferdinand has recalled the time he received the 'hairdryer' treatment from Sir Alex Ferguson after losing his rag in a Champions League clash.

Ferdinand spent 12 years at United after signing for a then British transfer record of £29.3million in 2002. The centre back became a mainstay under Ferdinand, and was an integral figure in their six Premier League title wins, also winning Europe's most elite trophy in 2007/08.

But that didn't mean he was spared Ferguson's wrath if he stepped out of line. On his Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE YouTube programme this week, Ferdinand was joined by the man with whom he formed such an accomplished partnership at Old Trafford, Nemanja Vidic.
