Nemanja Vidic's knee injury adds to Man Utd's woes at Basel

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic suffered suspected medial ligament damage in their 2-1 defeat at Basel in the Champions League.

Nemanja Vidic needed to be carried off after injuring his right knee

"We don't know with Vidic, we think it's certainly a medial ligament [injury]," said boss Sir Alex Ferguson on a disappointing night for his side.

Ferguson added: "Hopefully, that is the worst of it."

Vidic twisted his right knee tussling with Basel's Marco Streller during the first half in Switzerland.

The United defender and Streller chased down the ball and their legs tangled. The Serbia international immediately looked in distress and called for medical assistance.

Vidic was carried off on a stretcher then left the ground on crutches.

United were knocked out of the competition after their defeat at Basel.
