Ferdinand still wants captaincy

Rio Ferdinand will not give up on his dream of captaining Manchester United and admits he was "gutted" when Gary Neville was given the armband.

But the England international is not giving up on one day following his international team-mate.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "I would be lying if I said I wasn't gutted about not getting the captaincy."
"The manager had said in the past I could be the next captain after Keaney and the lads were asking what had happened between me and the gaffer, but nothing had happened.
"I figured it was because of what had gone on with the contract. But there weren't any explanations and I didn't expect the manager to speak to me. I didn't need to be spoken to about it or reasons given. I wasn't captain before Gary so there was no need for him to say anything to me and tell me why he'd done it.
"The manager has picked Gary Neville who I think is a great captain. There are no arguments from me on that score. He is a Manchester lad, United through and through and you couldn't ask for anyone better.
"However, I would definitely still love to be captain and carry the great traditions on. It remains an ambition."
