West Ham United manager Sam
Allardyce has offered Rio Ferdinand a
route back to Upton Park.
The 33-year-old defender is in the last
year of his current deal at Manchester
United, although Sir Alex Ferguson has
confirmed he would like him to stay at
Old Trafford.
However, Allardyce has now confirmed
that the door is open for Ferdinand to
return to the club where he began his
career and played over 150 games
before leaving for Leeds United in
2000.
"If it's at the end of the season and he
hasn't got a new contract and he is
released by Manchester United, then
we would be interested," said
Allardyce.
"If he wants to live back in London
eventually, which is where he comes
from, which you know quite a few
players want to do when they come to
the end of their careers, that is an
advantage for us.
"It depends entirely on Rio or which
other clubs might be interested in
him."
