Rio Ferdinand has admitted he had his doubts about centre-back partner Nemanja Vidic when The Serbian first joined the club.
Vidic made his debut for United in a 4-3 win over Blackburn Rovers in 2006 after joining from Spartak Moscow, and now, as his time with the club comes to a close, Ferdinand has claimed he did question Vidic when he first arrived at Old Trafford.
“We formed a defensive partnership that was expected to get the better of any strikers we played against and more often than not we did,” Ferdinand posted on his official Facebook page.
“However it wasn’t always like this. It took time for us to grow into a dominant force after a start where even I questioned if he was the right guy to come in after his first few training sessions.
“Nemanja Vidic – what a great player. A top professional footballer at Manchester United. He’s a strong defender who attacks the ball like no-one else I have played with.”
