Nemanja Vidic has been a revelation at Manchester United, with his tough approach to the game earning the team points on several occasions. He’s not on the receiving end of our praise alone though, with him being placed 21st in Europe the recent Ballon d’Or awards.
He has today spoken about his role in the club, as well as his opinions on the manager.
“Fergie doesn’t talk much,” said Vidic. “He points out the virtues and flaws of the opposition, how we should approach the game in order to beat them. He keeps it succinct and to the point. We play a lot of games over the course of the season and there’s not enough time for lengthy talks and analyses. He is a great expert and knows how to motivate players. That’s why we’ve been so successful. I had problems at the beginning to understand him well. He’s been here more than a decade, but he has preserved the thick Scottish accent. A lot of players don’t catch what he’s saying, especially foreign players, but our results confirm he is getting the message across.”
Vidic has looked to his future at the club, claiming that because of the mentality at United, there will be many more trophies on the way.
“I’ve had the fortune to play for big clubs who can’t stand defeats,” he added. “That is the case with Manchester United. We’ve got used to approaching our job that way and every game comes as a new challenge, regardless of the competition. You have to keep improving as a player if you want to be on the team. I’ve adopted that philosophy because I know that only individual work can keep me at the top. At the age of 27, I belong to the category of more experienced players. I have a feeling we have many more wonderful moments ahead of us.”

Future Captain? I would have him an understudy to Rio when Nev and Gigsy jack it in!
Wise words from the big fella. After that tackle yesterday most players would have gone down. He didn’t even flinch. Legend.
Gott’ love this lad. My favourite United player after Scholesy. Nemanja will fuckin kill you!
I’m just happy that Vidic is happy. He’s been a terrific player, a great professional, and is now entering the prime years of a defender’s career. And, he’s going to spend those prime years playing for the best team in the world. Happy New Year NemanjaMan.
I loved the way he took the tackle yesterday, clearly felt fuck all pain, then realised that a mere mortal would of had their leg snapped in two, so not wanting to blow his cover as a fcuking double hard bastard football playing machine, he looked at the ref half screaming pretending he was hurt, 2 seconds after the tackle. A warrior, and a legend…
A PLAYER WHO CAN WIN US A LOT OF TROPHIES.ONE OF THE BEST BUY FOR UNITED.
Vidic what a legend, class defender tough as fuck
Veni Vidi Vidic
He Came, He Saw, He kicked their heads in
He has been one of the most influential players in the United setup and his role in making us the Double Champions is massively underestimated by the media imo. Just to think of it, how was it possible that John Terry got to be in the European Team of the Year last year and neither of Rio, Vidic or Wes Brown was included in it is beyond me.
Hope Vidic n the team emulates its performance once again n make those biased media-persons to truly appreciate the quality of the defensive unit of our team.
Keep up the great work Vida!!!! Personally u are my favorite player.
carrick + vidic have been outstanding in terms of performance and consistency. As for Rooney, he shows how a player should play with hunger, desire, passion and his team in his heart.
forget about the Baloon Dors. all that matters are the trofees and the team results.
is it 22nd place or 7th in awards it doesn’t matter.
but the point is that Vida is only 27. that is encouraging.
Yeah like someone said, future captain??? I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, after seeing him yell at Giggs and Rafael during a match when they didn’t play well, I’ve always wondered how he’d fair as a captain.
there is NO way vidic said”succinct”.
lol
Red-Manc, you nut, you just made splutter me brew all over me fucking keyboard. Fucking funniest comment i’ve heard in a while…. keep it up mate…lol
