Sir Alex Ferguson to get an iPod as a late Christmas present from Rio Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand has revealed he is to buy an iPod for Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. And he's going to fill it with his favourite hip-hop and garage tracks before giving the gift! Rio told a United fanzine that Fergie was "totally confused" by his musical tastes.

He said: "He just says ‘What is this?' I’m going to do his iPod for him, that’ll get him up to date. I like hip-hop, R&B, Jay-Z, reggae, old soul, garage and ’80s pop such as Madonna, Wham and Depeche Mode." I'm not sure I can see Sir Alex getting into Jay-Z, iPod or no iPod. Good luck to Rio, who - as this video shows - has always enjoyed bringing the gift of music to others! [Via The Sun]
