Nemanja Vidic: In His Own Words

"I have to play strongly. In England, only 100 per cent is good enough."

“To be playing for United, the biggest club in England and probably the world, is an absolute honour.”

“Manchester United have a huge amount of great supporters and the club represents something absolutely fantastic to me. I really hope my time in Manchester will be one of the best periods in my life.”

“I received an offer from Liverpool, but when I heard United were interested I wanted to sign immediately.”

“Rio and Wes have really helped

me. I learn from everyone in the defence.”

"Vidic is the steel at the heart of United's defence. He'll throw his head into areas others won't, and has the sort of battling qualities Steve Bruce had."
Gary Pallister

"Nemanja is similar to Rio Ferdinand but maybe with a bit of John Terry's qualities as well."
Zoran Panjkovic, Serbian journalist

"Good defenders win you things. This lad is really natural and athletic. You need good defenders and that is exactly what this lad is."
