Ryan Giggs,
Gary Neville and
Paul Scholes have done and stick with one club for a long time.

Ferdinand joined United with the intention of collecting major
trophies and hopes he will be regarded as a player who helped the

during a successful period in the club's history," he added.
"When I first arrived, I knew this place was special and when
