Vidic admits this season has been frustrating

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is hoping his injury problems are now in the past.

The Serbian international started his first game of 2010 in the 3-0 win against West Ham on Wednesday night after overcoming a nerve problem in his right leg.

“It’s nice to be back,” Vidic told MUTV. “I enjoyed playing again.

“It’s a long time since I last played, but I am happy first of all that we won the game, and also that I feel okay in terms of the injury.

“I feel well and that’s very important for me. I didn’t feel any reaction today. So I am very happy.

“When I finished last season, I thought this season would be even better, but I’ve had the injury and this year has been very frustrating.

“I missed pre-season and two months recently. I hope the injury is in the past and I’m looking forward to the next games.”

He added: “We believe we can win the title. Confidence is a big word, but we believe we can do it.

“They (Chelsea) could be four points in front of us [with their game in hand], but they have to come to our ground [in April].

“We can do it, especially with some big players back from injury. I think we will be good for the rest of the season.”
