[MYU]

Former England captain Rio Ferdinand has announced that he plans to retire from football at the end of the season.

The 35-year-old centre-back, who cost Manchester United £30million when joining from Leeds United in 2002, has told The Jonathan Ross Show that this season with Queens Park Rangers will likely be his last.

been abysmal imho!

Hopefully he won't feature much more this season as he looks finished already.

Can't believe anyone thought he would do a good job for us. It's now obvious why he didn't get many games last season.

But we did not sign him on 40 k per week for his ability!

We signed him because he was outstanding on match of the day during the world cup.
We signed him because he is the first in at training.
We signed him because he is Harrys mate.

Top top player! #triffic

Cant blame him retiring, probably doesnt fancy championship football next season.

Says it all, the way it looks it turns out i was wrong. One last payday, one last season just to promote his book.

cant wait to see the back of him

[Rangers77]

Surely he's retired already??

[West Acton]

Thought he was just what we were after before the season started but he's been huge letdown. If he stays until end of season hope he ups his game considerably. After what was in my view a good debut its been downhill since then
