Ferdinand insists no Man Utd hangover after Bayern Munich setback

Rio Ferdinand says there'll be no hangover from Manchester United's midweek defeat to Bayern Munich.

The England captain says Chelsea can forget any ideas that United will be easy meat and promises an instant response to the 2-1 defeat in Munich.

He said: "I'm sure you'll see a much better, brighter United.

"You lose one, you dust yourself down and get on with it. That's what we'll do against Chelsea.

"That's what this club is about. We don't like losing. I'm sure you could tell that by our mood after Bayern.

"But you have to take some things on the chin and get on with it. Losing is part and parcel of football. Every game until the end of the season is like a cup final. It's a cliche but a fact.

"We didn't defend as well as we should against Bayern and we didn't play the way we should have. We will have to be a lot better against Chelsea."
