TEAMS: Man Utd's Ferdinand and Vidic link up at the back for last time against Southampton
MANCHESTER UNITED centre-backs Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand will link up at the back for the last time when they face Southampton this afternoon.
Vidic will captain today's match before leaving for Inter Milan in the summer whilst Giggs, who named himself on the bench for Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Tigers and whose own future remains unclear, leaves himself out of the squad.
Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra are recalled alongside Vidic in defence for the visitors with Robin van Persie making his first start since suffering a knee injury against Olympiakos in March.
Darren Fletcher also came back into the United side as well as Juan Mata and Danny Welbeck, with Southampton making just one change as England's World Cup hopeful Rickie Lambert came in for young striker Sam Gallagher.
