Long-time "Manchester United" defender Nemanja Vidic lost hope of fighting for the English Premier League title after yet another defeat.
Yesterday in London, there was a meeting between the hosts "Chelsea" players and "Man Utd". Jose Mourinho's players easily secured a victory with a 3-1 result.
The member of the Serbian national team believes that now the "Red Devils" need to fight for third place and a direct ticket to next year's UEFA Champions League.
"Yes, now I think we no longer have a chance to defend the title," the player told "Sky Sports" journalists. "Now we have to try to finish the season at least in third place."
"Of course, it won't be easy, but we will try. This season not everything is lost yet, and our focus will be on the Champions League and the English League Cup," added N. Vidic.
After 22 rounds in the Premier League, London's "Arsenal" is in first place (51 points), followed by "Manchester City" in second (50 points), "Chelsea" in third (49 points), and "Man Utd" in seventh place with 37 points.
