United Ready To Play The Vid
Nemanja Vidic could make a shock Manchester United return in Milan
next week. The centre-back has not played since injuring a shoulder
on March 31 but has recovered quicker than expected. This week
Vidic, 25, started proper training and tested the shoulder with
physical challenges. He had no problems and manager Alex Ferguson
is considering putting him into the side next week. Ferguson is
also hoping to bring back Rio Ferdinand after he suffered a
recurrence of his groin injury in last Saturdays 1-1 home draw
against Middlesbrough. United are desperate for their big two to
return after the defensive chaos against Milan on Tuesday. United
eventually won 3-2 with two Wayne Rooney goals, one in injury time.
But they suffered another defensive blow with Patrice Evra
receiving a second yellow card in the knockout stages. He will now
be suspended for the return, leaving Wes Brown, Gabriel Heinze and
John OShea the only recognised defenders.
Neil Custis, The Sun
The Daily Express insists United will do all they can to have Rio
Ferdinand fit for Wednesday's trip to the San Siro, but speculate
that Vidic will miss out.
Ahead of the semi-final decider in Italy, Michael Carrick says
United will be going for the victory despite their first leg
advantage. Milan star Kaka, however, claims his side are red hot
favourites to advance to Athens.
The Sun quotes Wayne Rooney's recent interview with United Review,
in which the Reds striker said: We know every game now whatever
the competition it is in is like a Cup final. Its make or break,
so we have to keep winning matches.
Sorry for the wall of words, but vidic is coming back! yay![/b]
For a while, I thought it was ghimpheng that posted. Gave me a
shock until I saw the 'Moderator' tag and the nick.
