Fergie blow as Vidic ‘out for months’

A WRETCHED 24 hours for Manchester United appears to have got even worse after Nemanja Vidic’s agent claimed the defender ruptured cruciate knee ligaments in Basel on Wednesday night.

Vidic immediately signalled he was in trouble after falling awkwardly following a tangle of legs with Marco Streller during the first half of the shock 2-1 defeat.

Alex Ferguson said after the game his captain had suffered ligament damage, but hoped the damage was not too serious.
