Nemanja Vidic in the clear for elbow on Bolton's Johan Elmander

Nemanja Vidic will not face disciplinary action over the incident that left Johan Elmander requiring four stitches to a head wound during Manchester United's 4-0 win at Bolton Wanderers, the FA has confirmed. The Serbian defender caught the Bolton striker with a stray elbow but despite the manager Owen Coyle's assertion that the Swede was felled by "a terrible challenge", no retrospective punishment will be taken. Martin Atkinson, the match official, dealt with what he deemed to be an accidental collision at the time and so the FA will not take the matter further.
