It’s all about us, says Vidic

Nemanja Vidic has told his Manchester United team–mates to forget about their Premier League title rivals — to concentrate solely on themselves.

Although Arsenal trimmed United's lead at the top to a single point with their victory over Stoke on Wednesday, the Gunners' presence in Sunday's Carling Cup final means United can immediately re–establish a four–point cushion if they overcome Wigan at the DW Stadium tomorrow.

After that come crucial trips to Chelsea and Liverpool, then, almost certainly, an FA Cup sixth–round tie with Arsenal. But having got themselves into such an advantageous position, Vidic sees no reason to lose focus now.

"We are just thinking about ourselves," he said. "We don't need to bother about other teams because we are in a good position. It all depends on us.

"It is a season–defining period for everyone."
