Former United striker Carlos Tevez has sported a snood while playing for Manchester City in recent weeks, with Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri another convert.
However, despite temperatures plunging in snow-hit Great Britain, Ferguson has reportedly told his players that the snoods are unmanly -- and forbidden them for wearing them in either games or training.
"You won't see a Man United player wearing a snood," wrote United centre-back Rio Ferdinand on his Twitter page.
