“Sometimes things like this can just give you that little
extra bit of determination and that is apparent with Rio.
His form since this began has gone up another level. He has
been outstanding all season, but particularly in the last
month or so and hopefully that will continue.

"I hope the mess that is happening at the moment will be
solved amicably and he can just get on with playing football
again because I know how much playing for England means to
Rio Ferdinand. Every player wants to play for his country
and Rio is no different. We have just got to be thankful he
is showing great form for United at the moment and this is
not effecting him."
