Manchester United could field a team of love rats it seems, with Rio Ferdinand its captain.
The former Red Devils skipper has lost his High Court privacy action, over a scandalous article published by theSunday Mirror last year.
In the article, interior designer Carly Storey revealed that she had been having a 13-year relationship with married defender Ferdinand. Storey was paid 16,000 pounds by the newspaper for her expose.
Ferdinand had asked the court to award him 50, 000 pounds in damages, as well as a worldwide gagging order on the story.
But the judge in the case ruled against him, explaining that the judgement " favours the defendant's right of freedom of expression over the claimant's right of privacy."
Ferdinand has checkered past, although he insists he is a reformed party animal.
However, alongside Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Ashley Young- who ditched his long-time fiancee for another woman shortly after signing for United- he makes one wonder if the Red Devils should actually be referred to as the 'Horny' Devils.
