Back in April 2005, who would have one day predicted we would be talking about Rio Ferdinand playing in his tenth season at Manchester United.

Rio Ferdinand’s ban for failing to show up for a drugs test has rightly been a frustration to Manchester United fans, given that Manchester City’s Christian Negouai also failed to attend a drugs test in 2003 and received no ban.

“Nemanja, wooah, Nemanja, wooah, he comes from Serbia, he’ll fucking murder ya!” is the song you’ll hear loudly whenever Vidic goes in hard on a player.

Mario Balotelli has attracted plenty of criticism in his short time at Manchester City.

When it comes to [...]
