Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand indulged in a bit of footballing fun with pop star Olly Murs.
Olly Murs may be famous for his singing ability, but had things gone a little differently he could have made his name on the football pitch rather than on the stage.
The former X-Factor contestant is a pretty nifty player as anyone who has seen him competing at charity events can testify. And the avid Manchester United fan has now indulged in a bout of keepy-uppies with one of his Old Trafford heroes – Rio Ferdinand.
The centre-back posted a video of the two men enjoying some down-time on his official Instagram account, and while Ferdinand looks the more comfortable on the ball, Murs certainly gave him a run for his money.
‘Me and Mr Murs at work,’ Ferdinand wrote in the message that accompanied the video.
Murs recently paid a reported £20,000 to go golfing with United players including Darren Fletcher, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick. But now it appears he is pretty friendly with Ferdinand, too.
