Vidic and Anderson out of Milan clash
emanja Vidic was again missing as Manchester United resumed their quest to reach a third consecutive Champions League final. Sir Alex Ferguson's men flew out Italy on Monday morning for Tuesday's encounter with an AC Milan side featuring former player David Beckham. Vidic, who has yet to play in 2010 after developing a nerve problem in his leg, was ruled out, leaving Ferguson to decide whether Jonny Evans or Wes Brown should partner new England skipper Rio Ferdinand in central defence. Ryan Giggs is also missing after breaking an arm in last week's draw at Aston Villa, but the remainder of United's first-team squad, with the exception of out-of-favour midfielder Anderson, made the two-hour trip for a meeting with the seven-time winners who have beaten United on all four occasions they have met in a two-legged European tie. Despite missing the tie Giggs knows enough about Beckham to be certain that at his core, the former England skipper remains passionate about the game that has provided his passport to fame and fortune, so focused he expects him still to be operating at the highest level in another four years. What team should United send out against AC Milan? Have your say.
