Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has called for his
Serbian team-mate Nemanja Vidic to be named as PFA Player of the
Year this season. The tough centre-back has been a key component in
United's awesome defensive performances, and has scored a few goals
for Alex Ferguson's side along the way.
"I think he should definitely be up there this year for player
of the year, he's a top player," Ferdinand told Sky Sports
News.
"The attacking players normally get the accolades and the
adulation so it would be nice for a defender to win it. JT
[Chelsea's John Terry] won it a few years ago but not many
centre-halves have won it over the years.
"I think he will be up there. He has been our most consistent
player this season along with Ryan Giggs and Edwin van der Sar.
Those three have been our stand-out players in terms of
consistency."
