Rio Ferdinand 'included in Manchester United's Dubai trip'

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand will reportedly travel with the rest of his teammates to a training camp in Dubai, despite reports that he was going to be left out.

It had been claimed that the 35-year-old was excluded from the five-day trip, prompting speculation that he is poised to announce his retirement.

However, it is believed that Ferdinand will head to the warm-weather training camp with the rest of the squad following United's match against Arsenal on Wednesday, according to The Mirror.

Ferdinand, who has previously been linked with a move to the MLS, signed for the Red Devils back in 2002 from Leeds United.
