Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United's young players need to get into the routine of winning trophies to create a dynasty. The former England captain was forced off in the opening day win against West Brom with a calf injury. His defensive partner Nemanja Vidic also picked up a knock and the cornerstones of the United defence are now facing spells on the sidelines. Yet, Sir Alex Ferguson will draw strength from the fact he can call on the talents of Phil Jones, Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling. Seven of United's aspiring young players finished the game against West Brom, and as a new era gets ushered in at Old Trafford, Ferdinand insists they must embrace United's winning culture. "Getting that continuity, that smell and taste of success is something that all the young guys who have come into the squad and not won anything yet need to feel."

The Blues captain, speaking on Sky Sports News at an event in London to launch the new season, feels the top-flight will be the most evenly contested in years. Alongside 19-times winners United and the Stamford Bridge side, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham can all be regarded as contenders for the crown. "When I saw them lift this trophy last year it still hurts today. I want to get my hands back on this and lift it. " And England skipper Terry has admitted the Old Trafford outfit's obvious desire for continued success is what motivates him to achieve glory for Chelsea. "We all see the quality they (Man Utd) have got, the hunger they have still got and the manager has," said Terry, as he sat in front of the gleaming Premier League trophy.

Two MPs from the Labour Party, who are both from Manchester, have tabled a motion in commons calling for Sir Alex Ferguson to be awarded a peerage. Graham Stringer and Tony Lloyd argue that football should be represented in the House of Lords because of its "economic, social, cultural" importance. And Ferguson, who was knighted in 1999 has just led Manchester United to a 12th Premier League title and a record 19 league title would appear to be the perfect person for such a role. Here's the Motion in full. "That this House recognises the economic, social, cultural and sporting importance of football to the United Kingdom; is therefore surprised at the paucity of representatives from the world of football in the Upper House; further notes that Sir Alex Ferguson, as the manager of Aberdeen and Manchester United, is the most successful manager in the history of British football; and calls for him to be recommended for appointment to the House of Lords."

There were some difficult times – if you look back to when we played Bursaspor [at Old Trafford in October], we were behind in the league and there were things going on off the pitch, but I remember doing an interview after that g...
