Ferdinand hungry to win Premier League title under David Moyes

Ferdinand all geared up to play under David Moyes

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand wants to win the Premier League title under his new manager, David Moyes. The 34-year-old defender said that the club is ready to pick up from where they left last season and win the Premier League title for the 21st time.

“To win the league under David Moyes would be phenomenal. Last season was one of the best when we won title No. 20 but this could go beyond that. To win it at the first attempt with a new man in charge would be something special.” said Ferdinand.

He was all praise for the new boss and insisted that United have a great chance under him.

“Moyes is a real football man and an honest guy. His hard working ethic reflects the man himself and he obviously wants success. We’ve got a great chance with this manager.

“Every year when we have the end-of-season party we are thinking about the next season and what we are going to do.

“We always talk about improving on the previous season. That was no different this year just because the manager has changed.” he added.

The former England international wants players from other clubs to grab the chance and join the Premier League champions if Moyes comes calling for them.

He said: “If United come in for you, you take it.

“Even if you are a great player you become a better one at this club. Cristiano Ronaldo became the best player in the world having come from Sporting Lisbon.

“The likes of Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Andy Cole all became great players at United. With this platform you cannot believe anyone would ever turn it down.

“We are well paid, of course, but it’s more important for me to be at a club which enjoys success, and historically is the greatest in the world, than to earn a bit extra somewhere else.

“I could have left United for more money but that’s never stimulated me. I’ve had the greatest stage here.

“If you have ambition your aim has to be to make a name for yourself at a top club. Money should not be the over-riding factor.

“As a player aged between say 23 and 27 that is what you should be looking at. It shows you are going somewhere and want to win trophies.”
