Manchester United defense Rio Ferdinand has said his side are not given enough credit despite their current domination of the English game. The Red Devils need just 10 points from their final seven league games to secure a 20th league success having brought from the front for much of the campaign. But, the Englishman says that the tendency for bookmakers annually to ignore his part while the favorite for the trophy has over and over "riled" him. "Every year that the league has been won by us, the next year we've never been favorites to get the league," he told Red Wednesday. "That is generally in most people's books or in the bookies' books, and that is usually riled me. "If you win the league, you ought to be the favorites next year because you have been the best group in the league - it is simple." United has racked up 77 points to date this season and can surpass the 95-point record set by Chelsea under Jose Mourinho through the 2004-2005 campaign And Ferdinand believes that people who questioned Sir Alex Ferguson's team following last season's surrender of the title to Manchester City have only spurred his teammates on. He informed BBC Radio Manchester: "People don't want to see us win the league and we flourish off that. We like it."
