Vidic was injured when he fell awkwardly in the first half of United's 4-1 win over Blackburn.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson suggested after the match that the Serbian centre-half was likely to be sidelined for four to five weeks.

Vidic's absence leaves Ferguson contemplating a reshuffle to his defence for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg clash with Roma.

United were already without injured pair Mikael Silvestre and Gary Neville before Saturday's latest setback.

Wes Brown, who had been deputising for Neville at right-back, switched to central defence to partner Rio Ferdinand when Vidic was injured against Blackburn.

Ferguson may choose the same option in Rome. Alternatively he could move Gabriel Heinze from left-back to partner Ferdinand at the heart of the United defence and utilise O'Shea or Patrice Evra at left-back.
