Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is happy to be playing the first-leg of their Champions League clash against Olympique Lyon away in France.
"The away match will be very important," Vidic told Manchester United Radio. "We have to be strong and try to keep a clean sheet. If possible we also want to score.
"Lyon will be a tough team but I think we can deal with them and do enough over these two games."
If the Reds can get any kind of result in France, Vidic is confident United's home form can see them through to the quarter final stage.
"I think it's good we're playing away first. It means that when we come to play at Old Trafford we'll know exactly what we need to do. We look strong at Old Trafford this season so it's the away tie that's really important. Here at Old Trafford we'll have the home crowd behind us and it's a big pitch, which we know how to play on."
