Rio relieved Roo saga is over

(23-10-2010) Manchester United skipper Rio Ferdinand is relieved the Wayne Rooney saga has been resolved. He has also told his England team-mate not to worry about Sir Alex Ferguson's transfer policy now that he has signed a new five-year contract. "Obviously it's been an awkward couple of days and the club have done a fantastic job putting this to bed as quickly as we have," Ferdinand told MUTV. "I think Wazza (Rooney) knows he's a Manchester United player, he knows this is where he's best. He's seen players leave and talk about regretting it and he's come to the true way of thinking which is that this is the best place for him.” Added the defender: "Wazza wanted questions answered and he obviously got the right answers, which is good for the club. He's made his mind up that he wants to stay and we're happy as players."
