The veteran centre-back believes the Premier League leaders, who are closing in on their 20th group subject, do not have the credit they deserve - and he says that is because lots of people enjoy seeing United fail. "People do not wish to see us win the group and we thrive off that. We love it," he told BBC Radio Manchester. Despite Monday's 2-1 beat to Manchester City, United are still 12 points apparent at the top of the table and just need another twenty points to be mathematically certain of reclaiming the name. Nonetheless it irritates Ferdinand that while they've been winners 12 times in the Premier League time, the others are instantly expected to depose them. "Every year that we have won the league, these year we have never been favourites to win the league," he explained to Red Wednesday. "That is in most people's books or in the bookies' books, and that's always riled me. If you win the league, you must be the favourites next year because you have been the best team in the league - it is simple." United happen to be Stoke on Sunday and, with City facing Chelsea in the FA Cup semi- final the same time, have the opportunity to get 15 details clear again.
