“He (Ferdinand) called me two weeks ago. I have to admit I was very impressed when I spoke to him. We spoke for 10 minutes about Manchester United and he made my decision much easier. I feel honoured to have spoken to him.”
“He invited me to talk about the club. He said it's a great club, full of history. If I go there I have to fight for the club. I have to be ready and because this is one of the greatest teams in history, for me it was a very good talk.”
“When I was a kid, Rio was considered one of the best defenders in the world. I think everyone could watch him play and, for me, playing for this club is a dream come true.
