They say you never lose it and Rio Ferdinand demonstrated that when he produced a header while on punditry duty.<br /><br />Ferdinand was joining a broadcast team of Gareth Bale, Steve McManaman, and Laura Woods who were previewing Liverpool's clash with Real Madrid on TNT Sports.<br /><br />During the pre-match build-up, one of the team's balls flew towards the punditry team and it was clear that Ferdinand's muscle memory kicked in. <br /><br />The former Manchester United defender - who retired in 2015 - stepped back and headed the ball back where it came - much like he would have done in his playing days.<br /><br />While Woods was further away from the action, Bale and McManaman were left ducking as the ball flew over, before Ferdinand intervened.<br /><br />Elsewhere during the build-up, Ferdinand accused McManaman of poking fans at his former side United in the build-up to Liverpool's mouth-watering Champions League clash.<br /><br />Ferdinand also jumped to the defense of Mohamed Salah amid his contract stand-off with Liverpool. <br /><br />The Egyptian's contract is set to expire at the end of this season and he recently claimed in a shock interview that there are no new offers to stay from Liverpool chiefs.<br /><br />The forward, 32, conducted a rare interview with Mail Sport and a small group of other reporters after scoring twice in the 3-2 victory at Southampton, where he said he was 'more out than in' and criticized the club.<br /><br />It drew criticism from the likes of club legend Jamie Carragher who claimed that Salah was acting 'selfish' by venting his frustration in public but now Ferdinand has argued back.
