Vidic: We Must Defend Better

Nemanja Vidic admits he's worried about United's goals against column after the Reds shipped another two goals on Sunday at the Reebok Stadium.

Although Sir Alex's men left Bolton with a point, the Reds twice went behind against a spirited Trotters side. United have now conceded nine goals in the last four games and kept just three clean sheets (all at home) this season.

"Yes, we’re concerned," the Reds' on-field skipper told MUTV. "Over the last few years we haven’t conceded many goals. We always looked strong and we didn’t give teams many chances. But in the last few away games we haven’t kept clean sheets, which is very disappointing."

Vidic's disappointment at the final whistle on Sunday was magnified by United's inability to take advantage of their title rivals' slip-ups. Twenty-four hours earlier, Chelsea had lost at Manchester City, while Arsenal suffered defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion. A win on Sunday would have taken United to within a point of league leaders Chelsea.

"The results yesterday were good for us but we didn’t win today and now we don’t have the same advantage we had this morning, before kick-off," Vidic said.

"This was a game we wanted to win and before the game we'd have said a draw would be two points dropped."
