Both known for their intensive fitness regimes on social media, the banter between Rio Ferdinand and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo continued as the ex-Manchester United defender responded to his former team-mate s online trolling.
Often seen posting clips of himself training on either Twitter or Instagram, despite retiring in 2015, the buff Ferdinand now a television pundit was at it again, but this time the 37-year-old caught the attention of a bemused Ronaldo.
In a video posted on Instagram, Ferdinand showed himself weight training in his backyard before he was mocked by Ronaldo, who commented: WTF is that?????? .
Ferdinand who won three Premier League titles and the Champions League during Ronaldo s successful six-year spell at United which came to an end in 2009 hit back at the 31-year-old Portuguese with a jibe of his own, adding: Cristiano [Ronaldo] you need this in your life.
