BERNE, Switzerland, Jan 30 - Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic will miss next month's Champions League first-leg match against Inter Milan after receiving a one-match ban for his red card in December's Club World Cup final. The suspension was announced by world soccer's governing body FIFA on Friday, along with a fine of 5,000 Swiss Francs ($4,329).
The Serbian international was sent off four minutes into the second half of United's 1-0 win over Ecuador's LDU in Yokohama on Dec. 21 after elbowing LDU striker Claudio Bieler in the face and could have faced a lengthier ban.

FIFA's disciplinary committee was responsible for issuing the suspension as the Club World Cup is a FIFA competition but it will be applied by European soccer's governing body UEFA who are the organisers of the Champions League.
FIFA also announced a two-match ban from Asian continental competition for Gamba Osaka's Takahiro Futagawa following his last-minute red card in the tournament's third-place play-off match.
