The long-serving manager claimed that Serbian stopper could be out for the foreseeable future, while adding that Scott Wootton would be in contention for a role on the bench.
Manchester United have been dealt with a huge loss after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 was deemed to have damaged his knee once more and thus underwent an operation that will keep him on the sidelines for at least two months.
"I don't think he was ever 100%. I noticed a couple of times in training that he was limping a little bit. Then he started feeling tightness in his knee. He wanted to carry on and in that situation that is what tough guys can do. Obviously the main operation

However, considering the attacking options available, Fergie won’t need to worry about the goal scoring side of things, especially with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 making his return from a lengthy spell on the treatment table.
