Ferdinand celebrated his birthday on Tuesday and was on punditry duty ahead of City's clash with Young Boys in the Champions League. Of course, the defender is a Manchester United legend, with six Premier League titles, two League Cups, a Champions League and a Club World Cup under his belt.

WHAT HAPPENED?

City subsequently saw an opportunity to have a little bit of fun, and produced a sky blue birthday cake for Ferdinand, with a picture of him holding the Premier League trophy, along with City crests. In the Manchester rain, the cake appeared set to slide off the table around which the pundits were huddled, and Ferdinand shouted "let it hit the floor" as a runner saved it.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">There are a few important birthdays to celebrate at the Etihad Stadium tonight 🥳 ...although we're not too sure <a href="https://twitter.com/rioferdy5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@rioferdy5</a> is impressed with the decoration on his cake 🎂🤣<a href="https://twitter.com/laura_woodsy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@laura_woodsy</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/JoleonLescott?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JoleonLescott</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/julesbreach?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@julesbreach</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/allysbears?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@allysbears</a> <a href="https://t.co/L72EnBMkSN">pic.twitter.com/L72EnBMkSN</a>— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href="https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1721974355037425842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 7, 2023</a></blockquote>
