Rio Ferdinand set to fly to South Africa with Manchester United with threat of FA action over 'choc ice' tweet hanging over him With several leading players still on extended breaks following duty at Euro 2012, and a number also preparing to play at the Olympics, Ferdinand will be one of a handful of senior players on the flight to Durban. Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and the out-of-favour Dimitar Berbatov are set to travel, but Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling are to remain in Manchester in an attempt to overcome recent injuries. United begin their tour with a game against Amazulu in Durban in Wednesday evening.
