Vidic Can't Wait

Nemanja Vidic has welcomed comparisons with Manchester United heroes Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister.

The defender said: "I have heard of the comparisons with Bruce and Pallister. They are part of the Manchester United legend. To be compared with them is great. It makes you want to try even harder."

Vidic is relishing the prospect of experiencing a first win over Arsenal, after they did the double over United in 2006-07.

He added: "Arsenal have been playing very well. They are not just winning but playing good football too. I watched their match against Liverpool and thought they were especially good in the first half."
