No snoods for Red Devils

(11-12-2010) Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has reportedly banned his players from wearing snoods, the latest fashion statement to hit the EPL. The thick, circular neck-warmers are being increasingly used by players in the world’s most exciting league to combat the icy weather that has swept across England over the last couple of weeks. Manchester City’s Argentine striker Carlos Tevez is arguably the most well-known snood wearer, while Arsenal stars Marouane Chamakh and Samir Nasri have also donned the accessory in recent matches. Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand weighed into the debate earlier this week, saying on Twitter: "U won't see a Man Utd player wearing a SNOOD."
