Rio Ferdinand terms Old Trafford as a fortress and sets his sights on another league title – English Premier League
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 has expressed his confidence in Manchester United’s home form in his latest interview to the media. The Englishman has been under fire recently due to his exclusion from the English national team squad that faced
off against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montenegro-c2959 in the 2012 European Championships qualification stages. The Manchester United centre back was also left on the bench for United’s last league encounter against Norwich City due to fitness concerns.

but a last minute knee injury forced him out of the tournament. Speaking about Manchester United’s squad and their home form, Ferdinand was bullish about Manchester United’s chances of winning yet another league title come the end of the present Premier League
season.
He said, "There is such belief in the squad, we are gunning for title No.20. We believe Old Trafford is a fortress and that is a great base for us to build on. That's the belief we've got, that's the belief the fans have got. Many
teams come here knowing it's going to be a long battle. It is the best stadium in the world to play in. The atmosphere, the fans - it's electric."
Adding to his comments about Old Trafford, the veteran defender stated, "I think the biggest thing at Old Trafford is that teams can go one or two goals up against us and even if they walk in at half-time, two-up, then there's
a good chance we will come back and win the game." Manchester United play their next home league encounter against Manchester City later on in October but their next league match takes place against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 at Anfield, where Manchester United lost last season
despite their excellent home form.
