Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was happy with his winning return at Wolves.

It appeared Ferdinand's well-publicised back problems had resurfaced last week before an intended return from a four-match ban against West Ham.

But the 31-year-old revealed he was never that concerned.

"It was kind of half-expected," he said. "I was told to expect a set-back he during the early stages of my recovery and then is what happened.

"I didn't think it would keep me out for any longer than it did.

"It has been a bit stop-start for me recently but hopefully I can get a run of games and we can have a good end to the season."
