Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand proud to be part of the Red Devils squad: EPL News
Manchester United defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173, has lauded the unity of the squad and is enjoying being part of the club.
United surpassed Liverpool’s record of 18 league titles in a 1-1 draw against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 on Saturday at the Ewood Park; The Red Devils have become the most successful club in the country after reaching the landmark.
Ferdinand, who joined Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s team in 2002 from Leeds United for a hefty price tag of 29-million-pounds, knew he had to win silverware at Old Trafford and the 32-year-old has managed to get his hands on 12 major trophies with the Red Devils in
almost 10 years of stay at the club.
Still, the former West Ham United centre-back is hungry to win more silverware and has set his sights on winning the UEFA Champions League final against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 on May 28, 2011 at the Wembley Stadium.
Talking to the reporters, Ferdinand said, “When I first came to Manchester United all I thought about was making sure I etched myself a little bit within the history of the club and to do that meant winning trophies.”
“I have been fortunate enough to be part of squads that have won trophies. You just really enjoy those moments. To be part of a club with such great history and be part of a successful team within that history is the icing on the cake." added the former
West Ham United star.
The centre-back added that his team might not have a world beater like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 star believes that the current squad’s never-say-die attitude differentiates them
from United’s previous teams. The team ethic in the current squad is phenomenal and everyone stands together for United’s cause.
The defender added that the balance of youth and experience gave United the edge, which other teams lacked. Other title contenders lacked his mixture and some of them either had a youthful squad and others had an ageing group of players.
