Rio Ferdinand agrees a new one-year deal at Manchester United.

Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand has signed a one-year extension to his contract.

The 34-year-old has agreed a new deal to stay at United until the end of next season, with reports last week suggesting that the deal was close.

Ferdinand, who won his sixth Premier League title with the club this season, took to Twitter to confirm the news.

"Sooooo happy to sign a 1yr extension for this great club, living the dream. Roll on next season," Ferdinand said.

David Moyes, the new United manager, said: "It is clear for everyone to see that Rio has had one of his best seasons with the club.

"Even from the outside you can see what a big character Rio is around the dressing room so I am delighted he has signed a new contract and I am looking forward to working with him."

Ferdinand also recently announced his retirement from international football.
