Greedy Ferdinand has a hunger for more success

Rio Ferdinand has warned Chelsea he is not satisfied with beating them to the Premier League and Champions League last season.

The Manchester United defender is set to return to the first team to face Luiz Felipe Scolari's side at Old Trafford on Sunday after missing the last three weeks with a back problem.

Ferdinand loved getting the better of the blues in the Champions League Final and championship last term, but is hungry for more.

He said: "I'm just greedy, I want to win everything. I don't want any other team to have any success. I want to sit back at the end of my career and be proud of what I've achieved. If I end up with what I have now I will be very disappointed.

"When we won the Champions League I was already asking who we were going to buy in the party afterwards.

"I was nagging the then assistant manager Carlos Queiroz about who we were going to get, I really wanted to know. I was on to David Gill as well.

"Hopefully, we can get into the kind of form that produced last season's success."
