Rio and Vida miss Rangers match

[ian1964 10,707]

United will take on Rangers on Wednesday night without the club's first-choice centre-backs.

 

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic have been successfully re-united at the heart of the Reds' defence in recent weeks, starting together in all bar one of the last six games - the exception being Bursaspor away when it was deemed advisable for Rio to avoid the four-hour flight.

 

Now Ferdinand will miss another Champions League match, as will his Serbian sidekick following Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to rest the pair and place his trust in the likes of Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans.

 

Ferdinand and Vidic, who both trained at Carrington on Tuesday morning, have missed the same game on just one previous occasion this season - the 3-2 Carling Cup victory at home to Wolves, when Smalling and Evans played the full 90 minutes in tandem.

 

Look out for quotes from Sir Alex and further team news following his pre-match press conference at 16:30 this afternoon (Tuesday). Absentees from training on Tuesday included Darren Fletcher, Darron Gibson, Gary Neville, Owen Hargreaves and Michael Owen.

 

It's a CONSPIRACY:grin:
