VIDIC RULES OUT TRANSFERS
Nemanja Vidic has said that he will not be moving away from Manchester United this season. However, his agent Silvano Martina has rejected any talk of a summer exit.
‘He’s a player that everyone wants,’ he said.
‘I talked to him about a hypothetical transfer and he replied, “I am the captain of Manchester United, earning well, I’ve won almost everything. Why should I go to Italy right now, when Italian football is going through a turbulent period?” This response removes any doubt about where his future lies – he stays where he is.’
VIDIC LOOKING FOR IMPROVE
Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic has said that he is looking to improve even more in the coming seasons.
The Serbian centre-back's comments come in the week he has been nominated as one of the contenders for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award.
The 29-year-old told the club's official website: "If you look at last season or the season before, we conceded less goals than this side has so it's hard as a defender to feel better about my form now than I did then.
VIDIC WARNS MARSEILLE
Nemanja Vidic has sent a warning to Marseille saying that Manchester United will win at Old Trafford.
The Reds secured a 0-0 draw in southern France last night to set up a tense night in Manchester on March 15.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side were professional in a dour match at the Stade Velodrome. But captain Nemanja Vidic believes the Reds will show their true colours back in England.
“We have to go for it at Old Trafford,” said the Serbian defender. “It will be a different game at home. We have to attack. This year we have played well at home.
VIDIC IS BEST
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has performed like the best defender in the world according to Ferguson. Last month, he produced the best defensive performance of the season at Tottenham to earn Sir Alex Ferguson's side a goalless draw despite being down to 10 men following Rafael Da Silva's dismissal for two yellow cards. Nemanja Vidic responded to the call, made sure his team-mate's error was not punished to maximum effect and that United still kept a clean sheet.
FERGUSON PRAISES VIDIC
Sir Alex Ferguson has praised Nemanja Vidic by saying that he is a bargain for the club. Vidic arrived at Old Trafford as a relative unknown from Spartak Moscow for around £7million in January 2006 and has proved to be a great piece of business for the United manager.
Ferguson raised a few eyebrows this season by handing the Serbian defender the captain's armband ahead of club-mate and England captain Rio Ferdinand.
The 29-year-old joined the club at the same time as another defender, Patrice Evra, a player who has also gone on to become a United mainstay.
VIDIC TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has said that he wants to lead his team by setting an example. The Serbian was Sir Alex Ferguson's surprise choice as skipper at the start of the season, handed the job ahead of Rio Ferdinand once the United boss had decided to remove the honour from Gary Neville due to the fact he was no longer a regular starter.
VIDIC ENJOYING CAPTAIN'S ROLE
Nemanja Vidic has said that he is enjoying the role of captaining Manchester United. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson handed the armband to the Serbian at the start of the season and the team have made an excellent start this term. United reclaimed top spot in the Barclays Premier League on Monday by beating Arsenal and stretching their unbeaten start to the season to 16 top-flight matches - a club record.
ARSENAL THE MAJOR THREAT ACCORDING TO VIDIC
Nemanja Vidic has said that Arsenal are the major threat to Manchester United this season. United host leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday followed by a trip to Stamford Bridge to face Ashley Cole's Chelsea, and those two fixtures could have a major bearing on the outcome of the Barclays Premier League.
Skipper Nemanja Vidic said: “I think Arsenal is the biggest game for us so far this season, especially when you are getting to that stage in December when it is likely a few teams will separate from the rest.
VIDIC SCORES TO EQUALIZE
Nemanja Vidic earned United a draw at Villa Park by scoring late on in the game. The hosts extended their lead just four minutes later with a display of fantastic counter-attacking football.
Ashley Young raced down the left wing before releasing Stuart Downing who crossed for Marc Albrighton to poke home from two yards. However, with United seemingly on course for their first defeat of the campaign, Federico Macheda again haunted Villa with a rasping effort fired in to the top corner of the home side's goal.
VIDIC ADMITS WORRY
Nemanja Vidic has admitted he is concerned about United's defence this season. The Reds conceded another two goals in the 2-2 draw at Bolton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon, meaning they have now shipped nine in six Premier League outings, which isn't going to send the fans in the Manchester United Hospitality seats wild!
In contrast, champions and leaders Chelsea have conceded just twice, and Vidic accepts he and his fellow defenders need to tighten up at the back with immediate effect.
