Former Manchester United manager Tommy Docherty has labelled Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to pick Nemanja Vidic against AC Milan "a disaster".
The Serbia defender was drafted into the team which lost 3-0 in the San Siro, 5-3 on aggregate, after a month out with a broken collarbone.
United looked shaky in defence throughout last night's match and Docherty told Radio Five Live: "When you're out for four or five weeks and the surgeon says you're fit to play, you're fit but not fit to play.
"Playing Vidic was a disaster."
He added: "I think they [United] were outclassed. The best team won but the damage was done when Milan scored two goals at Old Trafford.
"You only play as well as you're allowed and Milan were outstanding."
