The Mirror reports:

‘Rio Ferdinand faces a grilling from Sir Alex Ferguson over his decision to mock his eight-month suspension in a television advert. The Manchester United boss is furious with Ferdinand for making light of the ban which he believes cost his side the Premiership title.

‘Fergie, as well as senior United figures, are understood to be dismayed by Ferdinand's decision to joke about the episode. In the advert, Ferdinand is seen bemoaning the fact he is at home while his England team-mates are at Euro 2004 and complaining about having too much spare time.’
