Ferguson to make Vidic decision
Vidic has played in all but one of United's league games this term
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will decide whether Nemanja Vidic
plays for Serbia at the weekend.
Vidic is part of the Serbia squad whose Euro 2008 qualifier against Kazakhstan
has been rescheduled for the same day as United's league match with Bolton.
The Group A match was due to be played last Saturday but had to be cancelled
because of heavy snow in Belgrade.
Uefa said because the new date falls outside an international window Serbia
have no automatic right to keep Vidic.
The Serbs still have an outside chance of qualifying for the finals in Austria and
Switzerland.
However, if they fail to beat group leaders Poland on Wednesday, or Portugal
take a point from Finland on Wednesday, the Kazakhstan tie will be meaningless.
After Saturday's postponement Uefa attempted to stage the qualifier on Sunday
but with 14cm of snow still lying on the Partizan Stadium pitch, those plans also
fell through.
It is the rule that Country always comes before club. If a player is fit and able to
play there can be no question of SAF deciding, he has no choice but to allow Vidic
to play if that is the case.
