Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand insists the squad is good enough as it is to compete for silverware.

Ferdinand is bullish about United's prospects for the new campaign regardless of what happens between now and the transfer window closing.

He said: "We're confident. If we had to go into the season with the players that we've got now I'd be more than confident and with high hopes of doing well and winning trophies.

"If the manager adds to that and chooses to add to that, then great - but it remains to be seen."
