Rio Ferdinand has signed a new five-year contract at Manchester United.
Prospective England captain Rio Ferdinand has signed a new five-year deal which could keep him at Old Trafford until 2013.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said of his central defender on Manchester United's official website: “I am delighted Rio has signed a new contract.
“Rio’s contribution this season has been a major factor in our outstanding defensive performance”
Ferdinand had been expected to extend his stay at United, was also recommended by Ferguson as the captain of England as coach Fabio Capello considers who should take over the armband on a permanent basis.
“Rio…has shown what a great captain and leader he can be,” stressed Fergie.
Ferdinand himself has said he is delighted with his new United contract. -

Rio Ferdinand signs £125,000-a-week United deal to keep him with Premier League champions until 2013
Rio Ferdinand has signed a new contract at Manchester United which will keep him at Old Trafford until 2013. The new deal effectively means Ferdinand will spend the remainder of his career with United. After originally joining the Red Devils in 2002, the former West Ham player has gone on to fulfil his promise of becoming one of the most accomplished defenders in the game.
"Rio's contribution this season has been a major factor in our outstanding defensive performance and I am delighted he has signed a new contract," said manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ferguson also fuelled a growing belief that the 29-year-old has been earmarked as the club's next captain. Ferdinand has taken the skipper's armband on a regular basis with Ryan Giggs used so sparingly towards the back end of the campaign and is likely to lead United into their Champions League final meeting with Chelsea on May 21.
And though Gary Neville will be back from injury next season, the implication is as soon as the long-serving full-back stands aside, Ferdinand will get the job full-time. "Rio has matured into his role at the club and has shown, when needed, what a great captain and leader he can be," said Ferguson.
