Leeds United defender Rio Ferdinand admits he is uncertain whether to continue his career at Elland Road or move on.

The England centre-half, who has been linked with a £35million move to Manchester United, mulled over his plans with new Leeds boss Terry Venables on Sunday.

But the 23-year-old seems no closer to a decision. "I told Mr Venables I would give him a decision on what I wanted to do within 48 hours," he told The Sun.

"There are a lot of people I want to talk to about this. I will listen to what my family and close friends have to say and then make up my mind. This is a huge dilemma for me, one I have to get my head round.

"Mr Venables was everything I expected him to be. I have so much respect for him as a manager and a coach. He spelled out all his plans and how much he wanted me to be part of them.

"But he's not a man who is going to get down and beg me to stay. He has too much pride for that and I wouldn't expect it."
