IT WAS IN THE PAPERS

From the Sun

THE stars of Man United are all set for their Christmas party - and the joke will be on Rio Ferdinand. The theme of this year's bash will be The Night It Snowed In Rio, featuring a winter wonderland with a Brazilian beach feel.But insiders reckon it is really a light-hearted dig at the giant defender blundering last year by missing a drugs test. The party will be held inside a huge marquee at Old Trafford with palm trees, ice sculptures and powdery fake snow.

However we can reveal this to be nonsense as United’s party will be held at the living room and they will pop into Mulligans beforehand.
