Vidic went on to say that they "don't talk about" Ronaldo any more since he moved to Real Madrid. He added that Wayne Rooney is "the best player in the Premier League and on current form perhaps the best in the world" and that the former Everton forward will stay at the club for life.

"(Rooney) loves United and the club loves him," Vidic said. "The relationship he has with the fans is like a marriage and he won't break that."

Much has been made of former team-mate Tevez returning to Old Trafford with his new team but urged the fans to remember all he gave for the club.

"He is a great guy and that fans loved him, but I am not sure what reception he will get," he said.

Despite the focus of all the papers on the Manchester derby, there is some transfer gossip.

Chelsea transfer supremo Frank Arnesen is reportedly still tracking Benfica winger Angel Di Maria (Daily Mirror), even though they will probably not be able to buy him until 2011 - by which point Arnesen is likely to be out of a job.
