Fergie has Rio on his mind

ALEX FERGUSON again turned his attentions to Rio Ferdinand’s future after watching his side thump Charlton at The Valley – a result which left Addicks boss Alan Curbishley promising major changes at the club.

Ferguson has maintained United will not be 'messed about' by the £29m England star over his £100,000-a-week contract extension, and has made it clear that once the player's agent Pini Zahavi returns from his latest business trip, he expects the situation to be resolved immediately.

The massed ranks of Red Devils' fans made their feelings on the matter clear chanting for the defender to "sign your deal" during the comfortable victory.
