Rio: 'I've no axe to grind with Ridsdale'

Rio Ferdinand has held out an olive branch to Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale ahead of his return to Elland Road with Manchester United.

Ridsdale has aimed a few verbal volleys at Ferdinand following his move to Old Trafford.

However, Ferdinand says there will be no bad blood between the pair if they meet on Saturday.

"If I see Peter Ridsdale I'll be happy to shake hands with him. I don't see any point in either of us holding grudges. I've no axe to grind," Ferdinand told The Sun.

"I can understand he was disappointed I wanted to join Manchester United and he wished to make his feelings known.

"But there are two sides to every story. I've had my say as well and it's time to move on."
