Man Utd 2-goal hero Rooney: Vidic has that in his locker

Wayne Rooney heaped praise on Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic for his stunning goal in victory over Aston Villa.

Although it was only the third goal of the Serbian's United career that hasn't come via a header, Rooney insists the skipper is a dark horse in the finishing stakes.

"It was a great strike by Vida," Rooney told MUTV. "To be honest, he's a great striker of the ball. Sometimes after training when the forwards are staying behind and doing finishing, every now and again he comes over and does a little bit.

"He's got a great strike on him, so it's a shame he's not that far up the pitch all the time!"
