Rio Ferdinand has given Sir Alex Ferguson another defensive headache after leaving Sunday´s 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough with his foot in a protective case.
Ferguson can ill-afford to lose Ferdinand for long, with fellow centre-back Nemanja Vidic out for three weeks and some crucial matches coming up, including Arsenal at home and a visit to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
"I hope it´s not serious with Rio, but he was limping for too long," said Ferguson.
