Rio Ferdinand has admitted he ‘hated’ Mario Balotelli and ‘didn’t like’ either Luis Suarez or Fernando Torres.
The Former Manchester United defender had a long and heated history with many Liverpool strikers during his 12-year spell at Old Trafford, but left the Red Devils around the same time Balotelli arrived at Anfield. He and centre-back partner Nemanja Vidic were often tormented by Torres during his time on Merseyside, with the Spanish striker scoring in three consecutive fixtures between 2009 and 2010.
And Ferdinand, speaking during his Vibe With Five Youtube show, admitted he disliked all three former players, claiming that Torres left him needing stitches and a painkilling injection after an off-ball incident once.
