The Serbian is set to play against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/CFR-Cluj-c38778 after overcoming a major knee problem and could bring some much needed solidarity to the backline.
With the captain sidelined for the majority of the campaign, it’s no wonder that Manchester United have failed to keep out opponents most of the time.
The Red Devils have had to comeback from a goal down on more than eight occasions this season and Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling.
Vidic it seems is the only who can marshal the troops and make sure that the side doesn’t leak any unnecessary goals. However, the centre-back’s well documented fitness problems have threatened to curtail his Old Trafford career and he only made a few appearances
before succumbing to the treatment table in October.
While Fergie claimed that the former Spartak Moscow man will make his return after Christmas, according to the latest reports, the player has indeed returned earlier than expected and now is contention to start in the UEFA Champions League.
United have already secured progression to the latter stages of the competition and thus can choose to play their skipper without really having to worry about the result.
Ferguson was taken aback by Vidic’s swift return to action, but claimed that with the good progress he made with the physios, he expected him to re-join first-team training sooner rather than later.
“I’m hopeful maybe Vidic will play [against Cluj]. I think there’s a good chance he will but it depends on how he feels himself. I knew he was doing really well with the physios. He was doing his football training with them in terms of turning and striking
the ball but he came into training last Monday with the first team and did okay.”
Continuing, the coach added that the Serb was a terrific athlete and it was in his nature to be ultra-competitive in all fields.
“He’s a battler, an absolute competitor. He’s got that dour, uncompromising way of his. He likes defending – that’s what he does,” the long-serving United boss was quoted as saying to the media.
