Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand jokes that he will run down the street "butt naked" if Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't win the FIFA Ballon d'Or this evening.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has jokingly claimed that he will run down the street "butt naked" if Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is not crowned the FIFA Ballon d'Or winner.

The Portugal captain is the overwhelming favourite to pick up the gong, while his Barcelona rival Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery are also in contention for the honour.

Ahead of tonight's ceremony, Ronaldo's former teammate Ferdinand wrote on Twitter: "If @Cristiano doesn't win the Balon D'or tonight.....I will run down the street butt naked! Won't be a great sight I tell ya!! Come on CR7!"

Ronaldo last won the award in 2008.
