The Serbian centre-back made his return in Oslo yesterday but claims that he still has a long way to go before reaching full form.
Having spent the last eight months on the sidelines, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 finally started training this July and later joined the first teamers in a bid to re-launch his career.
As one of the world’s best defenders, United clearly suffered with their captain out injured and lost the Premier League title to Manchester City. However, they will be boosted by his return with the season only two weeks away.
Vidic only played an hour last night, before being whisked away by Mike Phelan, who was in-charge with Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson staying back to secure his transfer targets.
Although a number of other players have deputized for the former Spartak Moscow man, his ability to take control of the backline and inspire his fellow teammates is unparalleled and it truly justifies him leading the troops.
Though his return was a sight savour, the stopper admitted that he still had a long way to go before he could play a full-game and return to the heights he scaled last year.
"After eight months without a game it's obvious that you have to get used to your positioning. Fitness-wise it's not as it will be in a few weeks but my knee felt well and hopefully the next game will be better,” he said.
"I knew I would be out for six months. I tried to make the best of it and when I came back wanted to be the same as I was before the injury. That was my target. We'll see how good a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 I did in that six months,” the 30-year-old was quoted as saying.
United face a tough task in wrestling back the English crown from their cross-town rivals, but with the return of their skipper and new signings to boot, they will be a forced to be reckoned with once the campaign starts in a couple of days.
Ferguson is now allegedly close to sealing the deal for Brazilian prodigy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moura-c26908, who is seen as one of the world’s best young players.
