Former Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand has admitted that he felt a feeling of respect was missing following his exit from Old Trafford in 2014.
After 12 years at United, Ferdinand was told he would not be offered a contract extension at the end of the 2013/14 campaign, meaning he left the club on a free transfer. He was soon snapped up by QPR, joining the Londoners on a one-year deal in July 2014.
Ferdinand enjoyed a trophy-laden career at Old Trafford, winning 14 major honours, including six Premier League titles. He established himself as one of England's greatest centre-backs over his United career, as well as forming a formidable defensive partnership with Nemanja Vidic.
