Manchester United captain suspended !

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic got suspended on his side's League Cup semifinal second leg tie against Sunderland at Old Trafford on Wednesday as he got a red card meaning immediate 3 match ban.
The central defender submitted a claim for wrongful dismissal after being sent off late on during Premier league champions United's 3-1 defeat by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday for a rash challenge on Eden Hazard.
Vidic was given a straight red card, for which the standard punishment is a three-game ban.
An independent regulatory commission confirmed on Tuesday this would now take "immediate effect", starting with Wednesday's tie where United are looking to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.
