Rio Ferdinand reveals Sir Alex Ferguson warning to players after Man City won first Premier League title

Rio Ferdinand has revealed the warning Sir Alex Ferguson gave to his Manchester United players after rivals Man City won their first Premier League title in 2012.

A Wayne Rooney goal at Sunderland had seemingly won the Premier League for United at the Stadium of Light with the Reds waiting for the full-time score at the Etihad Stadium to come through. City were drawing 2-2 with Queen's Park Rangers with time running out.

However, a late strike from Sergio Aguero secured not only the three points for Roberto Mancini's side but also their first title. The goal sparked mocking cheers from the Sunderland faithful as Ferguson's side had to settle for runners-up.
