“The big question mark is whether Vidic is ready”

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits Nemanja Vidic could face Liverpool.

The Serbia centre-half has been sidelined since the opening weekend of the season with a calf problem.

“The big question mark is whether Vidic is ready,” he said.

“He has his first game for Serbia on Tuesday. It’s certainly a consideration because he’s such a great competitor.

“He came in yesterday (Thursday) and felt OK. But the Liverpool game is such an intense, stamina-draining game that you want everyone to be 100 per cent so it might be more down to how he feels himself.

“Jonny Evans’ form has been absolutely brilliant so I don’t have any real concerns about who I play because they’re all playing particularly well.”
