Jose Mourinho has claimed Nemanja Vidic should be banned for Manchester United's Champions League matches with Inter Milan.

The Inter Milan coach said the Serbian defender should be given at least a two-match ban for his red card in the Club World Cup final, which would cause him to miss his side's Champions League ties against Inter Milan

Vidic was sent off for elbowing striker Claudio Bieler in the face in United's 1-0 win over Liga de Quito and will serve his punishment in European competition with UEFA yet to decide the length of any ban.

The former Chelsea boss also expressed surprise that England forward Wayne Rooney had been cleared of allegedly stamping on midfielder Kasper Risgard during United's 2-2 draw with AaB Aalborg last month.

"I was amazed that Rooney was not banned," the Portuguese coach told Friday's La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I would be amazed if Vidic did not get at least two matches, which could be too little for a gesture like that in a match seen by the whole world."
