Neville backs Man Utd colleague Ferdinand for England captaincy

"I would be delighted for Rio if he was made England captain," said Neville.

"Obviously I hope it's Rio as he is a team-mate of mine and it would be great for the club.

"He is certainly the best defender in the club at the moment and it would be well deserved.

"But if it was one of the others then I wouldn't be too disappointed because the most important thing is to play and anything else is just a bonus."
