Man Utd skipper Vidic set to miss Marseille clash

Manchester United skipper Nemanja Vidic appears set to miss their Champions League clash with Marseille.

The Daily Mail says United have been dealt a hammer blow ahead of their Champions League second leg against Marseille - with captain Vidic almost certainly ruled out by a calf injury.

News that winger Nani is set to complete a remarkable recovery from a badly gashed shin - by playing just four days after he had been ruled out until next month - was almost immediately overshadowed by the bleak update on Vidic.

The Serbia defender only returned from suspension in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal, but picked up a knock in the 2-0 win and was unable to train on Monday.
