Rio Ferdinand has recalled the time two Manchester United stars were pulled apart during a tense situation.

Ferdinand, 46, is one of the finest defenders to ever play in the Premier League, having lifted six titles and one Champions League among other trophies for the Red Devils.

In total, the Englishman made 455 appearances across all competitions for United, scoring eight goals.

Ferdinand shared the dressing room with some of the club's greatest ever players, including the likes of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Roy Keane.

Speaking recently on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand revealed that defensive duo Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra had to be pulled apart during David Moyes' troublesome reign as United boss.

He said: "They didn't not get on, but Nemanja wanted more from him (Evra), cause he's having to do too much. But Patrice would think 'You can deal with that!'

"I think both have got an element of being right. But we had a meeting with Moyes about something. Nemanja was going 'I don't agree with that', with David Moyes."

Ferdinand continued: "Then, you know what Patrice is like, he was like 'Oh comeon guys, we're gonna be here all this time', bro, Nemanja's head flipped!

"He was like 'Don't you dare start talking like that when we are just sorting stuff out and we're struggling at the moment with the new manager' and they had to be pulled apart."

Previously, Evra spoke about his relationship with Vidic, stating that the pair did not speak for three months.

He said: "To be honest, we also fought. We had a fight – me and him – and didn’t speak for three months. We played together and we didn’t even say a word. I never told him to go left or go right. He was the same. Ferguson had to swap Rio Ferdinand to play on the left side with me!

"It was like that for three months until, after a game, I remember he came to me in the dressing room and gave me a high-five. Everyone was like 'finally' because we were best friends together, Vida and me. We have a deep story together."
