Rio Ferdinand has hailed the Manchester United team spirit as better than ever and insisted that all of Ferguson´s signings have been first class.

"The team spirit is the best it's been since I've been here," the defender said in the Daily Mirror.

"Obviously I can't say what it was like before my time, but I've never known it any better.

"I can only assume the manager does extensive research into a player's personality before signing him because we've not had one bad apple.

"You'd think people would moan when they're not playing, but you can't complain because we constantly have five internationals on the bench," he explained.

"Players bring different things to the team and the manager makes his selection according to the game.

"We understand that and know it is all about the bigger picture. You might not play in a particular match but it is a long season and you will get your chance."
