A point for all the low foreheads to note, and try to understand, along with the football truism, ‘They don’t boo bad players’ (other than Vinnie Jones). Over the last two seasons, Manchester United have conceded 0.86 goals per game in the Premier League when Rio Ferdinand has played, compared with 1.15 without him. To save them doing the sum, that suggests that in a full season, he would be worth + 11 to United’s goal difference.
