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."
