Rio Ferdinand pokes fun at ex Man United star Patrice Evra for Soccer Aid moment with Mo Farah

Rio Ferdinand has poked fun at former Manchester United teammate Patrice Evra for his part in a clumsy tangle with athletics royalty Sir Mo Farah during the latest Soccer Aid charity match.

In the glitzy annual game that mixes former professional footballers with other sporting icons and celebrities, Evra was part of the World XI that took on England at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Other names there with United connections included Gary Neville and Teddy Sheringham.

As for Ferdinand, though, his involvement has solely come in a watching capacity while Evra found himself in the thick of the action in the opening 45 minutes. Indeed, the ever-popular Frenchman won a penalty for his side and might, on another day, have given one away at the other end when he collided with Farah.
