Image:Rio Ferdinand: Says United's mentality changed against Newcastle
Rio Ferdinand says manager Sir Alex Ferguson gave Manchester United a wake-up call ahead of the Newcastle game to inspire their winning streak.
Mentality
He added: "Up until the game against Newcastle, we'd been a bit open and playing in that way of 'We attack, [then] you attack'.
"This league is unforgiving in that sense. If you're not on your game in all areas you'll get punished.
"But I think the performance against Newcastle signalled a bit of a change in mentality from us and hopefully that's a taste of things to come for the rest of the season."
