Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is desperate for Rio Ferdinand to be fit for tomorrow's Champions League final.

Vidic said: "Rio is the best partner I have ever had. He is a great player with great ability and we just understand each other and what we will both do.

"We can think the same way on the pitch, but I can't explain it. It's just happens with some players.

"I feel good when he plays and I enjoy it. I don't want to think that he will not play. He is an important player for us and I think he will make it."
