Vidic admits United must be more clinical

Sir Alex Ferguson chose to keep his new signing Robin van Persie on the bench for the first 68 minutes of Monday night's Goodison Park game, which ended in a 1-0 defeat.

Everton were the better side for long periods, but United failed to take their chances and Vidic says the strikers must improve in that area. "We knew it would be a hard game," he told MUTV afterwards. "They did what they're best at - playing long balls and focusing on set-pieces. They had a few chances and in the end deserved to score, but we're never happy when we concede from a set-piece.
