EXCLUSIVE: Fergie plans defensive shake-up Published 22:30 24/10/11 By David McDonnell (5) Recommend . Nemanja Vidic will be rushed back for Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson seeks a remedy for their derby humiliation. The United skipper, who was left out of their 6-1 humiliation by Manchester City, will start against League Two side Aldershot in the Carling Cup on Tuesday in a bid to ensure he is fit to play at Everton in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off.

Ferdinand and Evra could pay the price for Sunday's derby nightmare, with Fabio Da Silva coming in at left-back against Everton and Chris Smalling partnering Vidic in central defence, with Phil Jones at right-back. Ferguson, who addressed his players on their shortcomings against City after Monday's training session, has demanded an immediate reaction - starting at Aldershot
