Manchester United boss David Moyes has explained leaving Rio Ferdinand out of his squad for their Champions League tie at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Moyes confirmed Ferdinand has picked up a slight groin strain, but that the 34-year-old would have missed the trip anyway.
"Rio has a slight groin problem," said the Scot.
"It is nothing serious but I was never bringing him anyway."
