Ferdinand: trophy more important than records

Rio Ferdinand has said that the Team is not contemplating on setting a record points this season, but that the Team are focused on winnin the Title this season. The Red devils hold a 15-point lead over Roberto mancini's Manchester City who visit the Theatre of dreams on Monday night. Victory over the Blues would put the Reds on the verge of title glory, but attentions in the media have turned to the possibility of United hauling Chelsea's record of 95points in the 2004/05 campaign. Ferdinand, however, insists no-one is thinking about anything other than beating City and edging a step closer to a 20th premier league crown. "It is just about winning. Anything that comes after that is great, but winning it is the most important part," he told PASport. "If you win the league before the end of the season then you can set other targets. For me, personally, we need to get the trophy first, then you can think of all the other stuff thatgoes on around it. "We are not any more hungry because of what happened last season," he added. "That is just the way we are. The mentality of this club, driven by the manager, is that you have to win and you have to be challenging for every single competition you go in for. That has been the case since I have been here. That will never change. "This club, the manager, the management team he has behind him, and the players and the fans demand that." Twenty-five wins from the first 30 games - a record in the top flight - has helped the Reds build a double-figures advantage over Roberto Mancini's side, and United are also on an impressive run of 18 unbeaten games since November 2012
