"I want to retire while at United," he told Inside United.
"It would be great to do what Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes have done and stick with one club for a long time.
"Finishing my career at United would be a dream come true and those guys are such inspirations.
"They are all synonymous with Manchester United and I want to achieve that as well."
Ferdinand joined United with the intention of collecting major trophies and hopes he will be regarded as a player who helped the Red Devils cement their standing at the top of the world game.
"I would like to be remembered as a player who was at United during a successful period in the club's history," he added.
"When I first arrived, I knew this place was special and when the time comes to walk away I want to be able to do so with my head held high."

Rio's back has been giving him problems for the past few seasons. Next season his back will surely give him problems one, sigh. he reminds me of ledley king, who is afflicted by his knee problems.
thats why smalling or evans can take his place even if rio is absent with his back problems yet again next season.
