Nemanja Vidic has been banned for two matches following his dismissal in Saturday's unmentionable result.
The In-form centre back received a straight red when he took down Steven Gerrard outside the box.
As it was his second red card of the season - the other also came against Liverpool at Anfield in September - Vidic is suspended for two games.
He misses Saturday's trip to Fulham and the visit of Aston Villa on 5 April.
United's game against Villa will be moved to 4 April if Sir Alex Ferguson's side are in action in the Champions League on 7 April.
i know he got 2 matches because it was his second of the season, but i always thought the cards were wiped at beginning of march so then players on 4 yellows then get the 5th don't get a ban, why has this not also been the case with vidic, or are the FA trying to prove there is no favours being done for United like Rafa's rant suggested.
2 games isn't to bad for straight red could be worse normally there 3 games so we can count ourselves lucky
I personnally feel that on another day Vidic would have got a yellow. I feel ferdinand was covering anyway so cannot see it as a red.

prolly cuz it had to do with the card being a direct red...
I was listening to a Manchester United Podcast and some felt that the rest might actually be good for Vidic because he has played so many games.
Thoughts?

Not a bad idea nice way to see a positive side to it

Vidic and rest for now sounds great. He's nearly burning out. So lets have him break a little, Evans can cover
