Snoop Dogg Takes On Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand At Football

Snoop Dogg pledged his allegiance to Manchester United as he took part in a community project the city yesterday.

The rapper wore the team's home shirt at a special concert at the Apollo, organised by Rockcorps.

Snoop Dogg ran through a host of his biggest hits for fans, who were also treated to performances from Vampire Weekend, Mr Hudson and Tinie Tempah.

Earlier in the day, the rapper joined footballer Rio Ferdinand at a community project at Salford's Ordsall Community Centre.

He helped teenagers who had given up their time to paint the building's wall and played a brief game of football.

Snoop Dogg is set to play a one-off gig at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London later today (July 9).
