Manchester United defender and retired Serbia international Nemanja Vidic is relishing a week off when his teammates and other top players turn out in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
.
Vidic returned to the centre of the United defence in December after injury and his side have since opened up a 15-point lead at the top the Premier League as they close in on a 20th top-flight title.
.
They have also reached the quarterfinals as they seek a 12th FA Cup, in part to make up for the pain of controversially losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16.
.
"The international break is good for me. When you have lots of games, like we have recently, you just manage yourself until the next one and you don't work on yourself that much," injury-prone Vidic, 31, told the club's website (www.manutd.com) on Monday.
.
"Sometimes it is nice to have these days to work on yourself," added the Serbian, who retired from the international set up after his country's failure to reach the 2012 European championship in Poland and Ukraine.
.
United's defence last conceded a league goal on January 30 and fellow defender Chris Smalling said players recovering from injuries had coincided with the team's improved displays.

The young man deserves to rest, he has been so hardworking for Manchester United lately. The rest he'll get would be well deserved.
