Rude awakening fuels Ferdinand


Sometimes a loss can act as a shot in the arm to ward off complacency, and Rio Ferdinand feels that his Manchester United team will grow from their 4-1 defeat at the hands of rival Liverpool this past weekend.

As Sky Sports' Chris Burton reports, Ferdinand feels that any complacency that might have been in their changing room prior to the Liverpool match has certainly been lost.

"We have got a rude awakening," admitted the England international. "None of us has been taking anything for granted but subconsciously there may have been complacency.

"But results like this can be turned into a positive. Any complacency that was there will have torn out of us. At least we are still a good position even if it doesn't soften the blow."

"Now we have to dust ourselves down and get our minds right for the game at Fulham next week, when we will hopefully get ourselves back on track."
