Lightweight scarves known as snoods may be sweeping the
playing fields of the English Premier League, but Manchester United
coach Sir Alex Ferguson has banned his players from wearing
them.
Former United striker Carlos Tevez has sported a snood while
playing for Manchester City in recent weeks, with Arsenal
midfielder Samir Nasri another convert.
However, despite temperatures plunging in snow-hit Great
Britain, Ferguson has reportedly told his players that the snoods
are unmanly -- and forbidden them for wearing them in either games
or training.
"You won't see a Man United player wearing a snood," wrote
United centre-back Rio Ferdinand on his Twitter page.
