After eight seasons at Old Trafford, Rio Ferdinand wants to finish his career with Manchester United. With four titles and a Champions League gong in his impressive medal collection, Ferdinand has made the impression he wanted to with the Red Devils, and there have been suggestions he might be ready for a new challenge.
"I want to retire while at United," the 31-year-old told Inside United..
"It would be great to do what Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes have done and stick with one club for a long time.
"Finishing my career at United would be a dream come true and those guys are such inspirations.
"They are all synonymous with Manchester United and I want to achieve that as well."
Indeed, Ferdinand wants to add more medals to his collection, including an appearance in a third consecutive Champions League final this season, which would match Juventus' achievement in the 1990s.
When he first walked through the doors of United, the Londoner said he wanted to make an imprint that would last. And he clearly has not finished yet.
"I would like to be remembered as a player who was at United during a successful period in the club's history," he said.
"When I first arrived, I knew this place was special and when the time comes to walk away I want to be able to do so with my head held high."
