Manchester United manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 won't be back until next season, as the manager isn't willing to take a risk on the defender's fitness and risk his career.
Vidic went on to rupture a cruciate ligament in a Champions League game against Basel. The same game saw United drop out of the Champions League and drop down to the Europa League.
Initially. It was believed that the defender would be able to regain his fitness in time to play the final few games of the season, but the way things are shaping up, Ferguson just doesn't want to take any chances.
The manager has insisted that if he rushes the player back in, he could risk the chance of him being kept on the sidelines for an extended period of time. As a result, he wants him to take as much time as he needs to recover, in order for him
to be back to his best once again.
When talking about Vidic, his injury and his road to recovery, the United boss is quoted to have said: “I think he's on schedule really. It'll be the beginning of the season.”
"It won't be any sooner - I can assure you of that. There's no point trying to rush him for the end of the season, it's just not possible.”
"So it means we'll have him at the beginning of next season, giving him a full recovery, as that will be something like eight months.”
"I'm not sure about [going on] the tour. It may be possible. That will be a target, I suppose, but we want him in training when we start [pre-season] training."
Nonetheless, United are now going to need all their existing defenders to go on and prove just how good they really are, as the team needs as much inspiration at the back as they can get.
It is now going to be a wait till the end of the season to see just how United perform in the absence of their captain and whether their defence can manage to survive in his absence.
