Nemanja Vidic has been offered a four-year Manchester United
contract after his brilliant defensive displays.
The Serbian ace is less than two years into his present deal.
But his performances have prompted a double-your-money deal from
Uniteds board worth £50,000 a week.
Vidic is part of a defensive unit that racked up five successive
clean sheets. He is also a potent force from set-pieces in attack,
scoring the winner in Uniteds last Premiership away trip to
Everton.
Boss Alex Ferguson believes with Vidic alongside Rio Ferdinand he
has a defensive backbone to keep United walking tall for years to
come.
Ferguson said: The quality Nemanja has is that he is so brave. He
is a great defender and hes a real threat up front as well.
He can play too but, importantly, he doesnt mess about at the
back.
Vidic scored four goals last season and Ferguson believes he can
improve on that this season.
Fergie added: He is prepared to put his head in and that always
makes him a threat up front. He can easily get 10 this
season.
Vidic, 26 next month, insisted: I plan to score lots of goals this
year. If they come off my head, my feet or stomach, I dont mind. I
want to help the team win more matches.
A chilling description of Vidic comes from team-mate Wes
Brown.
The England international said: If you went into a 50-50 tackle
with him youd know about it. As his old coach said, he plays like
he wants to kill someone.
