Man Utd defender Ferdinand expects to keep captaincy

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has no doubts over keeping the England captaincy.

Ferdinand, who is close to returning to action after a knee injury which ruled him out of the World Cup, is certain he will be back as captain for the next qualifier against Montenegro next month if he is fit.

Asked if he was concerned about the captaincy being returned, Ferdinand told The Sun: "I think Capello said that a while ago.

"I think he answered it the last time the squad were together."
