Rio Ferdinand has admitted he regrets moving to QPR at the end of his career.

The former England defender enjoyed a glittering time in the game, which included a trophy-laden 12-year period at Man United.

During his spell at Old Trafford, Ferdinand made 455 appearances and won 14 trophies, including six Premier League titles and one Champions League.

However, after falling out of favour in his final season, Ferdinand left United in the summer of 2014 and joined newly-promoted QPR under Harry Redknapp.

The defender had hoped to end his career on a high, but endured a nightmare campaign, making just 11 league appearances as he struggled for form and fitness, before QPR were relegated after coming 20th.
