Ferdinand must get his eye back on the ball

Henry Winter in the Telegraph:
Certain corners of the Stretford End consider him to be nothing more than a Cockney mercenary passing through town.
His contract renegotiation, spectacularly ill-handled by the agent Pini Zahavi, further alienated supporters. Ferdinand has forgotten that he owes the United faithful, as well as Ferguson, for their support during his self-inflicted purdah.
So come on, Rio, step up to the plate. Deliver. Acquire some of Roy Keane’s defiance. Your seemingly inexorable journey towards football’s peaks has become sidetracked in the foot-hills of fame. Follow the Beckham path of relentless application. One of your former managers, David O’Leary, in that convoluted way of his, once said that “Ferdinand could grow into a natural defender”. But you need a nudge.
