Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has reportedly banned his players from wearing snoods, the latest fashion statement to hit the Premier League. The thick, circular neck-warmers are being increasingly used by players in the English league to combat freezing temperatures. Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez is arguably the most well-known snood wearer, while Arsenal attackers Marouane Chamakh and Samir Nasri have also donned the accessory in recent matches. United defender Rio Ferdinand said on Twitter "U won't see a Man Utd player wearing a SNOOD."
