Who is telling Manchester United players to tackle with their head?!

Putting your skull on the line

Forget our conclusion that Sir Alex Ferguson is going mellow in his old age. It seems Fergie has introduced some extreme training tactics of which even the Uzbekistan FA would be proud.

When we saw Carlos Tevez perfect the head-first slide tackle against Aston Villa, we understandably thought he was a bit of a nutcase. But then we saw this photo of Nemanja Vidic from last night’s match and spotted a bit of a pattern emerging.

That would be a Carrington training session worth paying to see!
