Reds' bond delights Rio

Rio Ferdinand feels Sunday's disciplined victory over Liverpool at Anfield demonstrated the team ethic and unity which has made United such a formidable side.


The result keeps the champions just a point behind table-topping Arsenal and full of self-belief ahead of a hectic Christmas period.

"Nothing tastes much better than going to Anfield and winning as a Manchester United player," Rio is quoted as telling The Sun. "It was huge for our confidence and a fantastic feeling.

"They thought they had a good chance of beating us. They've been playing well and have the players to beat us.

"But we were resolute all over the park. Our wide men, forwards and midfielders all defended together.

"That's a sign of a team that's strong and well bonded. That is exactly what we are. The morale in the squad is unbelievable."
