Man Utd defender Ferdinand: Overtaking Liverpool titles record not dominating our thoughts

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says overtaking Liverpool's titles record is not dominating their thoughts.

He is aware that Alex Ferguson's men are in line to win a record 19th league title.

Ferdinand said: "The thought of winning 19 titles is not going to be the overriding factor as far as the players are concerned.

"We just want to win the league. There are players at the club who have not won a league title yet and there are others who have won quite a few, like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.

"We are all at different parts of the spectrum but hunger to be successful is exactly the same. We do understand what it means to the fans but if we get involved in thinking about things like that it isn't going to help us."
