Manchester United have today revealed the dreadful news that we will be without captain Nemanja Vidic for two months.
“Nemanja Vidic has had a meniscus operation on his right knee and will be out for around eight weeks,” read a club statement. “Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson rested Vidic as a precautionary measure at the weekend after he complained of tightness in his knee.
