Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has rapped the defensive tactics of Aston Villa after last night's 0-0 draw.

"When a team defends with 10 players for the whole game, it's hard to create chances," Vidic told MUTV. "We had a great strike from Ronaldo, Rooney had an opportunity and a few chances from set-pieces, but we couldn't score.

"We knew we had a good opportunity to get closer to Liverpool and Chelsea but we didn't take it and now we need to focus on the next game," the Serbian added. "The season is long: Chelsea and Liverpool drawing shows the top teams are going to lose points at home this season."
