Man United defender Rio Ferdinand has been suffering from an unknown injury for most of this season and some of last season, he has now been ruled out of action until 2010. Ferdinand has been told that he must get at least six weeks of rest and treatment before he can return.

The Sun believes that Ferdinand may need to have his realigned, this will take the pressure off his back.

The good news is that Nemanja Vidic should play for United against Everton this Saturday. Our third choice centre back Jonny Evans is struggling with a calf strain so his is a doubt for Saturday’s game, which probably means that Wes Brown will line-up with Vidic.
