Man Utd defender Ferdinand: I have always rated Vucinic

Manchester United's England captain Rio Ferdinand is ready to take on Montenegro striker Mirko Vucinic tonight.

The Roma ace scored the winner against Switzerland on Friday and celebrated in bizarre fashion by taking off his shorts and placing them on his head.

Ferdinand said: "I have played against Vucinic a number of times for Manchester United in the Champions League. I said then I thought he was a very talented player.

"I have seen him before. We know who he is. But they have a number of good players. We will be doing all the analysing to make sure there are no surprises.

"His celebration is not one you would get away with in the Premier League, although I am sure there were a few ladies out there who enjoyed it!"
