Manchester United captain, Nemanja Vidic has said that understands the importance of leading a club like Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson awarded Vidic the arm-band at the start of the season, which came as a surprise to many. Most had expected his defence
partner, Rio Ferdinand, to be the more likely candidate after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Neville-c14447 was stripped off the captaincy. Neville, who is a veteran for Manchester United, is still part of the squad but, due to his age and lack of form, is no longer a regular starter in the
league.
Vidic is not someone new to captaincy as he is also the one leading his country, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Red-Star-c40350 Belgrade. Nevertheless, he said that he knew that he needed to do more to justify his appointment to the post
at Manchester United. Vidic said that it is a big honour for him and he would do all he can to live up to the expectations of the management, team mates and fans.
"It came as a bit of a surprise. The manager said he wanted someone who would play regularly but I know it is a big honour... I haven't changed anything in particular. But you do have to think about your responsibilities, your behaviour, the way you play,
the way you train. I know that I need to set a good example- on and off the pitch.", he said.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 has often been criticised as his team has made a habit of letting in late goals. However, despite those setbacks, Manchester United are once again at the top of the table, and look right on course to complete their record 19th league
title campaign.
The next game for Manchester United is very crucial for Vidic. If the center-back has been found questionable against one team, it has been Liverpool.
Vidic admitted that he has been on the receiving end against Liverpool a couple of times, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, specifically, makes life difficult for him, but he said that he is looking forward to the game against them in the FA cup to set the record straight.
Before the start of the season, there were some rumours that the central defender may be on his way out of Old Trafford, but soon after the World Cup, Manchester United CEO met up with him and secured a new 5 year deal that would keep him at the club till
2014.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 takes on Manchester United this weekend in the FA cup 3rd round tie. Liverpool will be coming to the game with all sorts of problems. The Reds are currently ranked 12th on the table, having freshly come off a defeat against
Blackburn, and their manager, Roy Hodgson, is on the brink of being given the sack. Manchester United would be keen to put one over their old enemy to make sure that they are not sent out of the oldest club competition like they were last year. Last year's
tournament saw Manchester United crashing in the 3rd round, against Leeds, for the first time since 1984. United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has learned his lesson from that game and he is expected to name a strong line up with both, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 in the starting eleven.
