Red Devils have a new skipper

(18-09-2010) It looks as though injury-prone Rio Ferdinand has been dumped as captain of Manchester United. On Friday Red Devils manager Alex Ferguson insisted that Nemanja Vidic would wear the skipper’s armband this season “because he is available all the time." And while Ferdinand has never been the club’s official captain, he has often led the club in the absence of the often-injured Gary Neville. But not any more insists Fergie. "We want it to be a player who's consistently available for us,” said the fiery Scot. "Everyone will recognise that if Vidic is fit - and he has been all season - he'll always be there. You wouldn't leave him out of your team unless you were resting him. He has started the campaign as the captain and it will stay that way."
