Nemanja Vidic To Be Back In Training

Nemanja Vidic

Reportedly, Manchester United skip­per Nemanja Vidic will start pre-season train­ing at the Car­ring­ton Train­ing Centre this week. Over the past six months the massive defender has been work­ing hard on his rehab­il­it­a­tion fol­low­ing the knee injury he suffered in Manchester United´s 2–1 defeat against Basel at St Jakob Park in Decem­ber 2011.

As expec­ted, Nemanja Vidic will make his return from his cru­ci­ate lig­a­ment injury in time for the start of the upcom­ing Eng­lish Premier League cam­paign. A reas­sur­ing pres­ence in the heart of the Manchester United defence, the pre­vi­ous Ser­bian inter­na­tional has made almost 200 first team appear­ances in the red shirt since his arrival at Old Traf­ford back in Janu­ary 2006. Sir Alex Fer­guson: “Hope­fully we are in a really strong pos­i­tion with cent­ral defend­ers. Phil Jones and Chris Smalling were bought for the long-term and have proved that they can play in other pos­i­tions of course and when Nemanja Vidic comes back at the start of next sea­son we will have a strong defens­ive core there. He won’t travel with us on the pre-season tour but he will cer­tainly be ready for the start of the sea­son. Then I can pick and choose whatever two I fancy or whatever two are in con­sist­ent form.”
