Beating the Reds a must - Rio
(17-09-2010) Clobbering arch-enemies Liverpool will be just the right tonic to get Manchester United firmly back on track, reckons Rio Ferdinand. United head into Sunday’s clash at Old Trafford with dented confidence after dropping sloppy points over the past couple of weeks against Fulham and Everton and drawing a blank against Rangers in the Champions League. "This kind of game is always good for galvanising spirit and belief," said the England defender on Thursday. "You would be beating one of your closest rivals, so to win this game would be great for team morale. Hopefully it will put us on the crest of a wave." United currently lie four points behind EPL leaders Chelsea. They are expected to welcome back Dimitar Berbatov, Paul Scholes, Nani, and Nemanja Vidic for the tie against Liverpool.
