Ferdinand trolls Fernandes

United great Rio Ferdinand has trolled Bruno Fernandes after the midfielder was caught moaning at teammates Alex Telles and Fred for being filmed on their way into the Carrington training base.

The Brazilian duo had just arrived in the car park when Fernandes shouted: "Stop being such ‘ballers’. You are here to play football, not film it."

Fernandes, Telles and Fred then joked with each other afterwards. As reported by Sport Bible, Telles was taking part in a 'day in the life' video for Brazilian marketing agency O Clube Football.
