The stopper recently recovered from injury to ease United's defensive injury crisis but will be disappointed with his return to the first team.

“We are very disappointed. We had a game at home and the chance to share the first position with Chelsea but we didn’t take it," Vidic told the club's official website.
“I think we did the best we could physically. We tried but I don't think we had the patience in the final third and we didn’t take our chances; that’s why we lost the game.”

Vidic felt Villa took their opportunity which was the difference in the encounter.

He added: “I’m disappointed to concede because they didn’t have many chances but they took the best one they had.

"That’s what football is all about, scoring the goals that win games. They did their job and I’m disappointed we didn’t take the three points.

"After they scored they tried to defend and use the pace of Agbonlahor and Young on the counter-attack. They are a hard team to play against - they close you down and fight for every ball. They also have pace up front and in the end they go home happy."

Vidic hopes the reigning champions can take advantage of their encounter Tuesday with Wolverhampton.

"This is our best chance to play well, score goals and bring the confidence back," insisted Vidic. "It’s important when you lose a game to have the next one quickly, so you can play better and fix what you did in the last match."
