Fans of Manchester United and no doubt other clubs are all coming together to appreciate this wonderful tweet from former Red Devils star Wayne Rooney to his old team-mate Rio Ferdinand.

The former England international notably once made a hilarious slip-up on the social media site, when he tweeted out a message to Ferdinand on Twitter without @-ing him in the post, or making it private, or whatever the hell his original intention was.
