Man Utd not risking central defender Vidic

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson does not expect Nemanja Vidic to return to first team action for at least another week. Ferguson says the 31-year-old is still short of full fitness and will not be considered for this weekend's derby clash against Manchester City or Wednesday's Champions League clash with Cluj at Old Trafford.

"I do not think he will play," said Ferguson. "He feels he needs another few days' training.

"He will not play in the derby if he doesn't play tomorrow, although I wasn't considering him for Sunday anyway."
