Patrice Evra reveals he had a fight with Nemanja Vidic at Manchester United which led to the pair not speaking for THREE months... with their tension causing Sir Alex Ferguson to place Rio Ferdinand between them on the pitch

Patrice Evra has revealed he did not speak to Nemanja Vidic for three months after they got involved in a fight when they were Manchester United team-mates.

The pair enjoyed much success together at Old Trafford, winning five Premier League trophies as well as the Champions League in 2008.

But the Frenchman has revealed that there was so much tension between them in the early days that manager Sir Alex Ferguson had to shift Rio Ferdinand over to the left-sided centre back position, just so they weren't playing next to each other on the pitch.
