the football
The Football - Good news over to Manchester United. Their captain, Nemanja Vidic, start full training after a long absence with a knee injury.

Vidic get injured it in December 2011, when Manchester United face Basel in the Champions League. Since then he missed playing, until the end of the season.

The Serbian defender was not taken on a tour 'Red Devils' to South Africa and China. Sir Alex Ferguson decided to leave it at Carrington to do light exercise and get treatment from club staff.

Fergie later reported that the captain was now a full practice. Although, he could not guarantee whether Vidic, Jonny Evans and also, will be playing at the beginning of the season.

"Not 100% if Jonny Evans and Vida will play at the beginning of the season."

"Jonny will start running today. Vida and Phil Jones started full training today, which was very positive."

"If I can keep the Rio (Ferdinand) to keep fit, then Vidic and Jones will make us have enough stock," said Ferguson as quoted by the official club website.

The Football - Wenger: With or Without Van Persie, Arsenal Still Ambitious

The Football - Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, his club's ambitions do not agree if only measured by the number of star players he has. He believes the Gunners will remain ambitious despite the loss of one star.

In the last few seasons, Arsenal unremitting release their key players. Call it the name of Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Kolo Toure, Samir Nasri, Cesc Fabregas and sold to other clubs.

In the summer, 'Gunner' yet again exposed the issue of transfer of the star. This time, who reportedly wanted to go was Robin van Persie, their captain and top scorer last season.

Because the star is often sold, Arsenal is often regarded as a club with no ambition to win trophies in each season. Club officials considered only pursue financial gain only.

Wenger did not agree with that opinion. He said the transfer policy alone can not be an indicator of the ambition of a club. Similarly to the case of Van Persie.

"We are very, very ambitious. You know it. Not just very ambitious, but also very proud of the way we run our club," Wenger said on Sky Sports.

"For me, the size of a club depends on the size of its support. For other clubs, may be dependent checkbook. However, for me, it depends on its support," he added.

"You can not question the size of the support to this club. You can not question the size of the club as a player to go or stay. It had nothing to do," said the Frenchman.
