Rio Ferdinand made his first appearance in a united shirt this season, turning out for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reserves in the Manchester Senior Cup against Oldham. He played the first 45 minutes before coming off at half time and was said to have come through without any hint of a problem. The game finished 2-1 with Nicky Ajose levelling after Oldham took the lead and Macheda scoring a screamer off the underside of the bar.
Anderson and Wes Brown also made appearances.
