Ferdinand Inspires Red Devils

Rio Ferdinand enjoyed a winning start on his return to action following his eight month ban for missing a drugs test.



The 25 year-old England international played the full 90 minutes and was the last player to leave the field in an emotional return to Premiership action.

"It was brilliant. Physically and mentally it's all new again but I got into it and it was just nice to be back out there," said Ferdinand.

"The fans were fantastic as soon as I came out for the warm-up."

Manchester United went on to win the game against arch-rivals Liverpool thanks to two headed goals from Mickael Sylvestre.
