Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said defender Rio Ferdinand will be "dealt with" for choosing not to wear the Kick It Out T-shirt during the warm-up for their 4-2 win against Stoke.

Ferdinand was the only United outfield player not to wear the top, which is meant to mark the anti-racism campaign group's period of action between 18-29 October.

Ferguson stated that Ferdinand had "embarrassed" him following the Scottish manager's questioning of Reading player Jason Roberts, who announced he would not be wearing the T-shirt in protest at what he perceives to be the campaign group's lack of action in combating racism in football.
