Vidic back for United

Alex Ferguson took a calculated gamble in the San Siro tonight by naming Nemanja Vidic in the Manchester United starting line-up to face AC Milan in their Champions League semi-final.

Vidic has not played since breaking a collarbone against Blackburn on March 31 but with his defensive options limited, Ferguson was always likely to either recall the Serbian defender or rush Rio Ferdinand back from his groin strain.
