Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has hailed Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor for the way he terrorised United's defence last year at Old Trafford.

Adebayor scored the deciding doal in a 1-0 win to Arsenal.

Ferdinand has played against some of the Premiership, and the world's best strikers, but reckons his encounter with Adebayor this season has been his most difficult.

Ferdinand told the Sun: "I would say he [Adebayor] is the toughest to be honest.

"I think Adebayor is the player who has given us the most problems this season, with his movement and skill.

"Arsenal controlled the game against us and he was exceptional."

Didn't Cris (Lyon's CB, I think) also say that Ade was the toughest striker he faced?

Well done, Ade.

The best way to return the compliment is for Emmanuel to score against Man Utd again!!
