Manchester United centre-back Nemanja Vidic wants to beat Aston Villa in this Sunday's League Cup final without having to resort to extra time.
The Serb would definitely like to avoid penalties. United have endured shootouts on five out of their six visits to the new Wembley stadium, with the sixth ending in defeat after extra-time to Chelsea.
The Red Devils have won on three out of those six occasions: the 2007 and 2008 Community Shield games and last year's League Cup final win over Tottenham Hotspur.
But they lost last season's FA Cup semi-final to Everton on penalties and Vidic does not want to have to go through such an ordeal again.
"Wembley is a great place, it’ll be a full stadium and it’s always nice to play in a final," the centre-back told United's official website.
"But I hope we do well and finish before 90 minutes – we don’t want penalties again!"
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that his players would practice penalties ahead of Sunday's final against Villa.
