Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic believes he will soon be over the knee injury that has plagued him over the last two seasons.

United's 2-0 win at QPR on Saturday ensured they remain firmly on course for the league title, with the gap between to second-placed Manchester City currently standing at 12 points with 11 games left to play. Someone who has been a part of all the Red Devils' previous 12 triumphant Premier League campaigns is Ryan Giggs, who netted the team's second goal at Loftus Road. Even at 39, the midfielder remains a key player for United and Vidic has paid tribute to Giggs. "Ryan is very professional and is such an example for the young players," Vidic said. "They see how you have to treat yourself and educate yourself in football to be a great player. Of course he has the quality and ability as well. "He is a great example of how to be professional and to play at the top for so long. "We have quite a few players like that. Rio (Ferdinand) is the same. He is a committed professional the same as Paul Scholes."
