Rio Ferdinand may well have won all there is to win during a trophy-laden 12 years with Manchester United, but the former defender claims the "most enjoyable football" of his career came with the Red Devils' rivals Leeds United.
The ex-England centre-back spent just two seasons at Elland Road having been signed from West Ham back in 2000. It wouldn't take long for the young defender to catch the eye of English football's elite as just two years on United paid a British transfer record fee of around £30million for the 23-year-old.
Ferdinand would go on to be regarded as one of the greatest defenders of his generation and win 14 major honours with United, but despite such relentless success, the former centre-back has since admitted the most enjoyable football of his career came away from Old Trafford. Ferdinand revealed it was in fact with Leeds where he most savoured his experiences of the beautiful game, while asserting that his Elland Road exit was "difficult to accept" for the club's fans.
