CAPTAIN FANSTASTIC
Tall,Strong,Pacey and Aggressive these adjectives can be used for only one person in Man Utd's squad and he is Nemanja Vidic.
Vidic suffered ligament damage in 2011 playing against Basel and missed the remainder of the season and his absence was dearly felt by utd as they were knocked out of Champions League group stages as list the league tittle to local rivals Man city.
Vidic returned to full fitness at the start of 2013 season and his impact was immediate,he didnt necessarily played week in week out but whenever he played utd's defence looked solid as ever and utd romped away with the league tittle.
VIDIC's Defensive Stats From Last Season:
Clearences = 70
Headers won = 30
VIDIC's Defensive Stats This Season So Far:
Average tackles per game = 2.1 Clearances =20
Headers won= 10
Stats above show that how aggressive vidic is and what utd missed at the back as in the season in which he was injured our defenders made 1.6 tackles per game only
Attacking Stats This Season:
Vidic averages 0.9 key pass per game
So not only Vidic is a defensive wall but also he is good in attack
Last season Vidic only lost possession 9 times which clearly shows he made very very few mistakes.
VIDIC's Defensive Stats From Last Night Against City:
Tackles = 3/3 
Interceptions =1
Blocks =1
Clearances = 23/23
Aerial duels = 3/4
Stats above show Vidic was the only one in the Defence holding strong as compared to other defender who did half as much as what Vidic did
Vidic after the game" its disappointing but we must comeback we are down now but from tomorrow we'll try to be positive and win the next game"
Sir Alex on Vidic's importance
"If Vida stays fit we have got a massive chance (for retaining the league tittle)"
