Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand joked he wanted to strangle Sergio Aguero because of the Manchester City icon's famous goal against QPR in 2012.

The former Argentina striker scored the last-minute winner for City against the London club which secured the Blues' first Premier League title and condemned United to second spot.

Ferdinand was part of the Sir Alex Ferguson team that had won at Sunderland moments before Aguero's goal at the Etihad. Ferdinand and Aguero met at another historic City moment on Saturday night as the pair witnessed Pep Guardiola's team win the Champions League for the first time.

The Blues' legend joined BT Sport pitchside after he had celebrated with his former club. As he approached the desk, Ferdinand said: "I've got to be honest, you broke my heart man [with the goal that won City the Premier League title], I can't even look at you," to which Aguero responded: "Are you ok?"
