Ferdinand, who has won 81 caps, has been in excellent form for United this season as they sit 12 points clear in the Premier League.The procedures have been the same all season which has given him fantastic performance levels when he's playing for us," said Ferguson.We have to consider that and Rio is considering that. We'll see what the outcome is.I haven't spoken to Rio. I like to do my talking to players face to face, said Hodgson.The telephone sometimes is not the greatest of instruments, especially if you don't know people extremely well.Hodgson also maintained there was no "sinister connection" for his omission until now and said he deserved the call-up on current form.He has to make sure he is going to be OK in terms of the number of games he plays," Ferguson added.We have been doing that for two years and it has worked. England play San Marino on Friday, 22 March, before travelling to Montenegro on Tuesday, 26 March in a game which could dictate who wins Group H. England manager Hodgson revealed he had not told Ferdinand about his call-up on Thursday.
