Home vs Arsenal, ratings:

From ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic. An Adebayor-less Arsenal meant the Serbian had a relatively quiet day at the back. Did everything that was asked of him.”

From Goal.com: “Vidic: 6.5 – Perhaps ought to have closed Arshavin down earlier for the goal but otherwise did little wrong.”

From MEN: “Vidic: Not his most dominant and didn’t shut down Arshavin for goal 6.”

From The Sun: “Nemanja Vidic 6.”

Away vs Tottenham (1:3), ratings:

ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic Unfortunate to unwittingly tee up Defoe to score, but from then on enjoyed a running battle with Crouch which left both men with bumps and bruises.”

Goal.com: “Nemanja Vidic - 6 - Culpable for the opener, he made amends with a trademark block on Robbie Keane at the start of the second half.”

M.E.N.: “Vidic: An early struggle coping with Crouch but he finally got his teeth into the battle 7”

Manchester United won 4:3 against ManCity. Vidic played the full match.

ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic Looked solid enough and couldn’t really be blamed for any of the goals conceded, but he’ll join in the collective disappointment of United’s back four.”

Goal.com: “Vidic - 6 - Not a great deal for him to do. Cut down Wright-Phillips when he was through on goal to get himself in the referee's notepad.”

M.E.N: “Vidic: With only one striker to handle between two he wasn't able to stamp himself on game 7”

ManUtd won 2:0 against Stoke City, away. Vidic played the full 90 minutes.

ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic Dealt superbly with Stoke’s long balls into the box. The big Serbian always rose highest to head them clear and saw off the threat from first Dave Kitson and then James Beattie.”

Goal.com: “Vidic - 6 - Not a great deal to do, but when Stoke launched the ball in to the box he was the first man to meet it.”

M.E.N: “Vidic: Only one striker to deal with and he played his part in mopping up limited threat 7”

CL: Home vs Wolfsburg 2:1. Ratings:

ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic A cynical foul on Grafite earned the Serbian a booking and he was perhaps lucky to stay on the pitch after another poor tackle. Otherwise, the Serbian was typically robust and solid in the air.”

Goal.com: “Vidic - 5 - Shaky night for the Serb. Headed his team into danger twice and seem flustered by the physical threat posed by Grafite. Could have been given his marching orders for a second booking.”

M.E.N: “5 Vidic: Hauled down the difficult Grafite when he was turned and it summed up his uneasiness.”

Home vs Sunderland 2:2, ratings:

ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic – Always going to be in for a battle against the strength and pace of Jones and Bent – he won some and lost some.”

Goal.com: “Vidic - 5 - Another tough game for the Serb. He hasn't kicked in to gear yet, and was regularly out jumped by Jones and out foxed by Bent.”

M.E.N: “Vidic: After his Wolfsburg off colour display this was another untypical effort from the Serb 5”

Vidic celebrated his birthday playing a Champions League match in Moscow.

From ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic - Booed for his Spartak connections and endured a few nervy moments at the back. The 90 minutes will have done him good, however, and he showed no signs of the ankle trouble that threatened his involvement in the game.”

From Goal.com: “Vidic - 4 - Has yet to kick into top gear this season. Tentative from the beginning, he under hit a number of back passes and struggled to get to grips with Necid.”

From M.E.N.: “Vidic: Didn’t enjoy the best of birthday’s in Moscow where he used to ply his trade for Spartak. Even being reunited with the one-time solid triumvirate didn’t bring out the very best in the Serb 5.”

From The BBC: “United were given a scare when centre-back Nemaja Vidic played his side into trouble and allowed Milos Krasic get in an 18-yard shot which he put over.”

It was the third successive time Vidic is sent off against Liverpool; he was expelled for a second yellow near the end of the match.

ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic. Nothing like his nightmare at Old Trafford, despite his dismissal – his third in three consecutive Liverpool clashes. He produced some important blocks and timely tackles but trailed in Torres’ wake for the opening goal.”

Goal.com: “Vidic - 5 - Given his marching orders for the third time in a row against Liverpool after a block on Kuyt. Played reasonably well otherwise and a soft first booking proved his undoing”

M.E.N.: “Vidic: Had got his head and legs to virtually everything all game but when stretched he suffered 7”

Vidic played the full match and the ratings for the home vs Everton were

ManUtd.com: “Nemanja Vidic – The returning centre-back was instrumental as United limited the threats from Saha and Yakubu. A timely boot frustrated Cahill’s bid for a consolation.”

Goal.com: “Nemanja Vidic - 6 - Revelled in the aerial battle with Fellaini and left his mark on Heitinga's face. A little wasteful when in possession.”

MEN: “Vidic: A welcome strong comeback from the Serb against tough strike force 7.”
