Upbeat Vidic happy with his fitness

Sir Alex Ferguson's side continue to chase glory on three fronts.

Nemanja Vidic has declared himself 'ready and able' to lead Manchester United down the home straight as the season enters the final three months.

The Red Devils defender believes any concerns he had over his knees have started to disappear in recent weeks.

Vidic has taken a cautious approach to making himself available since his December return from a knee cartilage operation.

The 31-year-old also missed eight months of last season after suffering cruciate ligament damage to his other knee.

He has continued to listen to his body in recent weeks and the Serbian feels both he and Sir Alex Ferguson's team can now reap the benefits.

United are 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table and things are set to get pretty hectic with them also competing in the FA Cup and Champions League. They are 1.02 to win the Premier League title, 3.25 to claim the FA Cup and 8.00 to secure the Champions League.

Vidic insists: "I was so long without football that it was difficult once we were playing Wednesday-Saturday-Wednesday.

"I have had to think whether it is good for me to play or not. Sometimes I will get a reaction and sometimes I won't. That is normal.

"This management of my playing time is not a long-term thing. It is all dependent on the individual. It should be soon that I am ready for every match."
