Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic was delighted to get through 90 minutes last night against AIK.
The Serbia defender missed the Premier League champions' tour of the Far East and Australia due to a back complaint.
Vidic told MUTV: "I am pleased that I have 90 minutes under my belt. It's a long time since I've played a full game.
"I am pleased with that and I hope that after this game I can pick up my fitness and I will be ready for the beginning of the season.
"It's frustrating when you don't get the games. I've done some good training but it's different when you're playing a match.
"I got 90 minutes and we have two more games before the start of the league season. Hopefully I can get another 90 minutes before then."
