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.

Farah stole in at the far post and got his shot away. However, that only came after Evra slipped into his opponent and sent him tumbling to the ground in comical fashion.
Those involved saw the funny side and Farah quickly appealed for VAR intervention. Those protests were laughed off by referee Mark Clattenburg, though, but Evra didn't completely away with his clumsy tangle as Ferdinand logged on to social media to aim a light-hearted dig at his ex-United teammate.
Uploading a video clip of the incident, Ferdinand added four laughing face emojis to his Twitter post. He tagged in the Frenchman for good measure.
