Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand to miss out on Old Trafford farewell?

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has reportedly been omitted from the side to face Hull City this evening, despite it possibly being his last game at Old Trafford.

The 35-year-old's future at the club remains uncertain as his contract is due to expire at the end of the season.

If the centre-back is moving on from the Red Devils, it is understood that he will not be given his Old Trafford farewell this evening as interim manager Ryan Giggs has opted to start with Phil Jones and Nemanja Vidic, according to The Telegraph.

Reports have claimed that Ferdinand, who has been a United player for 12 years, is unlikely to be handed fresh terms when a new manager, rumoured to be Louis van Gaal, is appointed.
