Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard hailed the defence in front of him for victory at Aston Villa.

Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand were praised by Lindegaard for their contribution to another shut-out.

"They are two absolute world-class players and I think what you saw today was some of the best defensive work you can see on this planet from some of the best defensive players on this planet as well. It's very enjoyable to play behind them because they make it look easy," the Dane told manutd.com.
