Ryan Giggs says the return of Rio Ferdinand is ideal timing for Manchester United ahead of their clash with Liverpool.

Ferdinand was back on Tuesday for United's 0-0 draw with Rangers.

"Rio has been out for a long time, it was great for him to get the minutes. He didn't have a lot to do but what he did, he made look easy," said Giggs.

"Even though we are only three or four games in to the season, it's a big game now for us on Sunday."
