Anders Lindegaard owns Rio Ferdinand in Twitter banter session

Lindegaard and Rio Ferdinand

Club football is set to return this weekend and one of the things to look out for will be how Manchester United fit all their new superstar signings when they face Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.

Former team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Anders Lindegaard, naturally excited at the meeting between the two clubs, spiced the clash up on social media up before the encounter.

The United goalkeeper started off proceedings with a funny Instagram picture with an epic hashtag on Twitter.

The former United defender visibly embarrassed tried to take a cheap shot at the shot-stopper not being a regular starter

Lindegaard ended the contest digging an old video where once most expensive defender in the world couldn’t keep himself in his seat

@rioferdy5 you should have respect for people who knows how to sit... http://t.co/SgyuaTnjoZ
