Former Tottenham captain Ledley King has hailed the form of Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand this season.

King is full of praise for the United legend.

"Rio's had a great season. Man United are top of the league at the moment," he told Sky Sports.

"It's good that he's been fit this season. He's played as many games as I can remember in recent years and that's made a big difference.

"You can see his quality. He's been as good as anyone, I suppose, this season."
