Ferdinand was the Red Devils most expensive English footballer in history when they signed him for £34 million and has been ever-present for United since then. The 34-year-old formed an extremely fruitful partnership with Nemanja Vidic and managed to keep six consecutive clean sheets in 2007. The former England international’s pace has greatly reduced over the decade and was nut-megged on numerous occasions during the 2-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion. Ferdinand currently has a contract which expires at the end of the season and will most likely hang up his boots. Phil Jones and Jonny Evans are more than capable of filling the void left by Ferdinand once he retires.
