Man Utd defence needs to shore up - Vidic

Nemanja Vidic is calling on the Manchester United defence to tighten up in the run home for he title.

The Red Devils set a new record for most minutes without a goal earlier this season but have recently lapsed and let in easy goals.

Vidic says the players in defence need more focus.

"It's very disappointing to lose a goal at the end like that when you are winning 2-1," he said.

"If you look at the last four games then obviously we haven't played like we did in the ten games before that.

"We have conceded too many, so definitely we need to get back on the right road and we need to get back that mentality.

"I don't think it's a case of players not having the confidence but maybe we've had so many games and also we've had players injured - at this stage of the season, you need all your big players to be ready.

"After the Liverpool game, we said we had to fix it but we didn't. Now we have to put it right."
