MANCHESTER - Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand signed a one-year contract yesterday to stay with the Premier League champions for a 12th season.
The 34-year-old would have been out of contract this summer after helping his club to a 20th league title but will now be part of new manager David Moyes's set-up following the retirement of Alex Ferguson.
"I am delighted to have signed a new contract," the former England international said in a statement.
"Who wouldn't want to play in this fantastic team in front of 75 000 fans each week. It has been an incredible journey and I am glad it will continue. I can now fully concentrate on my club career, which has worked well for me over the past few years."
