Rio Ferdinand not set to retire - David Moyes

Manchester United boss David Moyes has dismissed reports that Rio Ferdinand will miss a club trip to Dubai amid claims the defender is set to retire.

The Sun newspaper claimed Ferdinand, 35, had been left out of a five-day warm-weather training camp.

"What was written was a load of rubbish, complete nonsense," Moyes said of Ferdinand's reported omission.

Manchester United, who play Arsenal on Wednesday, lie 15 points off the top of the Premier League and nine off fourth.
