Nemanja Vidic was happy to be back for Manchester United after victory over West Ham United.

The Serbian has been troubled by a nerve problem in his right leg, and hadn't played since the win over Wigan at the end of December. But his towering performance on Tuesday was a welcome sight.

"It's nice to be back," he told MUTV. "I enjoyed playing again. It's a long time since I last played, but I am happy first of all that we won the game, and also that I feel OK in terms of the injury. I feel well and that's very important for me. I didn't feel any reaction today. So I am very happy.

"When I finished last season, I thought this season would be even better, but I've had the injury and this year has been very frustrating. I missed pre-season and two months recently. I hope the injury is in the past and I'm looking forward to the next games."
