Manchester United have confirmed captain Nemanja Vidic has been ruled out for the season as a result of his knee injury.<\/p>\n

The hardman defender was stretchered from the field on a miserable night for United on Wednesday, as they were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League after defeat to Basel.<\/p>\n

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson feared Vidic had suffered a serious injury and the concerns have now been made official.<\/p>\n

Losing Vidic, who is widely considered to be United’s best defender, is a huge setback for the club at a time when they are being badly hit by injuries.<\/p>\n

Michael Owen, Anderson and Tom Cleverley are among those already rehabilitating and the latest problem could force Ferguson to act in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Although Phil Jones, Jonny Evans or Chris Smalling are all capable of acting as Vidic’s replacement, United may want to bring in an experienced alternative.<\/p>\n

After the Champions League shock, Ferguson’s main focus will now be upon chasing Manchester City in Premier League.<\/p>\n

And on Saturday United could move to within two points of their rivals with a win over Wolves, with City visiting Chelsea on Monday.<\/p>\n
