Rio Ferdinand has admitted that he and Wayne Rooney "always argued" at Manchester United in a response to being labelled "arrogant" by him.
Rooney's comments made headlines on Monday, with the Derby County boss - who spent 10 years playing alongside the former defender for club and country - being quoted by the Sun as saying: "Rio is a top player, but he is just arrogant. You get paid a lot of money at Man Utd to kick the ball into the net, so just do it. I said, 'Do your job, and give me the ball, give [Cristiano] Ronaldo the ball. Stop standing there messing about'. Rio is a top lad but he sometimes did forget he was a defender."
It prompted Rooney's ex-teammate to respond on his weekly YouTube show, Vibe with FIVE, as Ferdinand explained: "It was at a signing [event], some of us do these things where you go and talk to an audience. They're quite funny, you have a few beers and you get loose lips a little bit when you're in there.
