Fergie is keen on keeping Ferdinand at the club when he decides to end his playing career.
The 30-year-old’s contract is set to expire in 2013.
Fergie believes Rio could become a top-class defensive coach at Manchester United.
Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes will also star working on their coaching careers this summer as Ferguson is keen on having them join Ole Funnar Solskjaer on the backroom staff, according to News of the World.
