Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says they can be pleased with their point at Liverpool.

The Reds defender believes a point in Merseyside should be celebrated, considering United's recent baron run against Kenny Dalglish's side and also expressed his delight at being involved in the big games, following a spate of recent injuries.

"I'm happy with a point in the end," Ferdinand told manutd.com. "They created a couple of chances towards the end but our passing was controlled in the second-half and we played some good football. We just didn't make the right decision in the final third and we could have had a couple more opportunities. But considering what we have gone through in the last couple of years - I think we've lost three on the spin at Anfield - a point isn't a bad result.

"These are the atmospheres that you want to play in. This is what you love and enjoy. As I've said before, there is no better place to come and get a result for United fans. It's great to be playing again. I'm enjoying my football, training every day and that's all you can ask."
