Vidic will be happy he doesn't have to get kicked by Lee Bowyer this weekend.
It’s another 10 days out for Nemanja Vidic as the Serbian defender tweaked a nerve during the warm-ups for Manchester United’s FA Cup disaster against Leeds last weekend.
As a result, Vidic will miss today’s game against Birmingham at St Andrews and the game with Burnley at Old Trafford next week.
“We sent him to a specialist on Wednesday and the problem will be solved by some exercises. He felt a bit of a problem with the right side of his leg and didn’t feel confident about playing the game. I understand that because it was quite painful. He should be back in about 10 days’ time.” – Fergie.
Fergie has been without his top two center halves for quite a while now; Ferdinand has been out for months with a back injury.
Meanwhile, all of the newspaper reports this week about Gary Neville retiring are apparently a “load of nonsense”. Fergie has dismissed the news and says that no decision on Neville has been made. I wonder where all the tabloids got the news? Maybe seeing the 35 year old huff and puff in vain as League One players made a fool of him last weekend made his retirement decision a no-brainer!
