The centre-back remained non-committal about his Manchester United career and claimed that he was still making up his mind whether he should agree to an new deal with the club or not.
One of England’s most decorated sons, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173, may soon be hanging up his boots according to his most recent statement.
While the former Leeds United man has enjoyed a fruitful, trophy-laden spell at Old Trafford after arriving in 2002, he may be calling time on his career that has spanned a decade at the highest level.
Although his abilities as a ball-playing defender have never been doubted, his injuries and advanced years have taken a toll on his limbs because of which he has struggled on occasion while taking on speedy attackers.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 struggling on the sidelines, Ferdinand has been a model of consistency at the back.
His partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085 has helped the Red Devils avoid blushes on many occasions this term and while he can’t play every game, Fergie has been careful to utilize his talents to the brim.
The return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling has helped ease the pressure on Ferdinand and the conveyor belt of defending talent at the helm also means that United’s backline will remain strong for years to come
That fact alone could have persuaded Rio to consider his future, which he claims that might not extend after the summer, in which his current contract expires.
"It is always good to hear the manager say things like that. But you have to take every week and month as it comes. The best thing I can do is to look at it at Christmas, and then again in the summer, to see how I'm feeling and go from there.
"I'll have a better idea of that in December or January time when the games start coming thick and fast. I'll probably get a better gauge of where I'm at fitness-wise and the benefit of having the summer off then,” Ferdinand was quoted as saying to the media.
