Vidic set to return, Nani blow

Nemanja Vidic is back in training and could make his Manchester United return next week, but Nani is unlikely to play again this year.

Serbia international defender Vidic could make a surprise comeback in United's Champions League tie at home to Cluj on Wednesday.



The 31-year-old has been out since September after undergoing knee surgery but United manager Sir Alex Ferguson revealed on Friday his captain had returned to training and an appearance against Cluj at Old Trafford was a possibility.



"It would be nice for him to play on Wednesday," said Ferguson.



"We are not afraid of that."



However, there was less good news about Portugal winger Nani, who has been missing since the beginning of the month with a hamstring injury.



"Nani is going to be out for a longer spell, possibly another four or five weeks," said Ferguson.



The United manager also confirmed Antonio Valencia would miss Saturday's trip to Reading with a hip injury.

Ronaldo is fine

Portugal midfielder Nani says his international team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo is fine, dismissing reports the Real Madrid star is unhappy.



Ronaldo refused to celebrate after scoring twice for Jose Mourinho's side in their victory over Granada last Sunday, citing a professional dispute within the club following the game as the reason behind his lack of joy at finding the back of the net.



However, the 27-year-old did celebrate his equaliser for Portugal against Luxembourg with slightly more vigour on Friday.



Manchester United midfielder Nani pointed to the celebration when asked what the situation regarding Ronaldo is.



Nani told Marca: "Ronaldo's fine. Haven't you seen him? He's not sad, he's fine."



Helder Postiga gave Portugal the lead in the second half and Ronaldo was also the first to congratulate the Zaragoza forward.
