The experienced defender could be sold in the summer, with reports linking him to big money moves in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 and the Middle-East.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 finally seems to have adapted to his age after two years of intensive haggling in defence. The centre-back, once known for his speed, found himself struggling against quality opposition after his ageing limbs began to show signs of slowing
down.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 seemed to grow in stature at the helm, Ferdinand’s abilities were clearly affected and thus he often struggled when placed against speedy wingers or pacy attackers.
However, in the absence of the Serbian, the 34-year-old seems to have found a new lease of life and has put in some solid displays this term, although Manchester United have emphatically struggled in defence.
With his career now firmly winding down, it’s only a few years before the former Leeds United man chooses to depart the Theatre of Dreams.
That, though, could arise much sooner than expected, with Ferdinand reportedly receiving tempting offers from the Middle-East as well the now-established Major Soccer League of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-States-c3034.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is a big fan of the player’s abilities and has been impressed by how he overcame back problems to regularly play in the last 18 months. The Scot is allegedly willing to offer his veteran defender a one-year extension to his current deal,
but Ferdinand is eager to see whether his body can still compete with the rigours of top flight English football.
With the winter season stepping up United’s pursuit of the title, the ex-West Ham star has around six months before he has to make a major career decision.
Currently, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International enjoys first-choice status with Vidic and that is unlikely to change in the near future. The 19-time English champions are currently pushing for silverware on several fronts and Ferdinand will surely be tempted to stay
with the club for the time being.
Nonetheless, the offer on the cards maybe lucrative enough to convince him otherwise.
After http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Cahill-c35085 in their midst.
Huge salaries and topical weather might appeal to Ferdinand, who has been plying his trade in England since the start. And even better might be the option to opt for a side in the Middle-East, where wages can exceed expectations and the Leagues are still
in process of developing.
While it remains to be seen where eventually the player ends up, or perhaps even chooses to stay put at the Theatre of Dreams, Ferdinand no doubt will re-think his options when United place their one-year contract extension on the table.
