Report: Rio Ferdinand could move to China

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand could reportedly move to China when his current contract with the Premier League giants runs out at the end of the season.

According to a report in The Guardian, the 34-year-old centre-back has been offered a lucrative deal by an unnamed club in China.

Ferdinand, who has suffered from a back problem in recent years, is keen to play on beyond next summer, with the paper reporting that there is a "big chance" that he will leave United.

Ferdinand joined United from Leeds United in 2002 and has won the Premier League five times and the Champions League once since then.
