Rio Ferdinand has hit back at critics of the 2012/13 Manchester United title winners and insisted it was his favourite Premier League triumph.
The defender won six league honours at Old Trafford, with the final one coming in 2013 in Sir Alex Ferguson's final campaign as manager. United had surrendered the trophy to Manchester City the previous year but bounced back by winning the league with 89 points, 11 ahead of their city neighbours.
Ferdinand enjoyed that Premier League win most due to scepticism around the team and his own performances. He felt that he answered his critics and the win was extra special as it was Ferguson's last before retirement.
