Man Utd skipper Vidic will hold nerve for showdown with Chelsea striker Torres

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic says he will hold his nerve against Chelsea ace Fernando Torres on Tuesday.

Vidic was once sent off in three successive games when Torres was leading Liverpool's strikeforce.

Torres will be out to score his first Chelsea goal against United on Tuesday.

But Vidic said: "I don't worry about facing Torres - I don't worry about playing against any opponent.

"As a defender you have to enjoy the battles you have because the top four or five clubs in the Premier League always have good forwards.

"It is always tough against Chelsea because they have Drogba and Anelka - and now they have Torres."
