Soccer – Premier League team news:Alex Ferguson has confirmed defender Rio Ferdinand will make his Manchester United comeback against Hull at Old Trafford tomorrow.

The 30-year-old has not featured since the defeat at Liverpool on October 25th, since when he has been absent with a long-standing back complaint.

After initially showing little sign of progress, Ferdinand’s condition has improved markedly over the last three weeks and Ferguson believes it is time the former West Ham star re-entered the fray.
