Man Utd defender Ferdinand pleased with early season form

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is pleased with his early season form.

He attributes his form and fitness to an intense pre-season programme.

"I feel good," he said. "This pre-season we've had has been a really strong, solid base to work from. It gives us that base to go up to Christmas and the New Year. The [new coaching staff] came in and have worked us really hard. Now I want to get a run of games. Physically I feel good and I just want to continue making sure my pre-game and recuperation is all right."
