Rio Ferdinand did not travel with the team to Turkey, where on Tuesday the Champions League group stage matches with "Bursaspor" will be played.
It is believed that coach Sir Alex Ferguson made this decision to protect Rio Ferdinand, who is suffering from injuries, from a tiring flight and excessive workload.
In the next two weeks, "Man Utd" will have three important matches in the English championship against "Wolverhampton", "Man City", and "Aston Villa".
