Nemanja Vidic is in line to return to the Manchester
United defence for Saturday's Premier League clash with
Everton.
The centre-half has started just seven games for United this
term, and has been sidelined for the past three weeks with a calf
injury.
But manager Sir Alex Ferguson discussed Vidic's fitness with
Serbia coach Raddy Antic on Tuesday night and the 28-year-old was
given the green light to play 70 minutes in Wednesday afternoon's
World Cup warm-up against South Korea at Craven Cottage.
Vidic's return will provide Ferguson with a huge boost as
defensive partner Rio Ferdinand is still missing with a back
problem, while the Red Devils have slipped five points behind
leaders Chelsea.
Vidic enjoyed a relative stroll as Serbia ran out comfortable
winners against the Koreans, with giant Valencia forward Nikola
Zigic's sixth-minute strike securing a 1-0 win.
United midfielder Park Ji-Sung, who has been out since October
with a knee injury, captained South Korea and also lasted 70
minutes.
