Ferdinand set for Man Utd axe in Ukraine

Manchester United boss David Moyes is set to drop Rio Ferdinand for tomorrow's Champions League clash at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Ferdinand is set to be the biggest casualty of United's atrocious defeat to West Brom as Moyes battles to revive the Reds' season in Ukraine tomorrow night.

Moyes rates Phil Jones highly as a centre-half and is set to name him alongside captain Nemanja Vidic for the Shakhtar tie.

Vidic was rested against Albion and Liverpool having played all 90 minutes of United's previous seven matches.

Having labelled the 31-year-old the best central defender he's ever worked with, Moyes is sure to bring him back in tomorrow.
