Former Reds centre-back Gordon McQueen believes Rio Ferdinand
and Nemanja Vidic can rival the rock-solid defensive pairing of
Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister.
The Reds boss assembled his current first-choice duo but McQueen
reckons Sir Alex has hit upon an impressive, but
difficult-to-achieve, blend of talents.
"If Ferdinand and Vidic are blessed with the same fortune in terms
of fitness then the early signs are looking very good that they
could create a similar partnership."
United have conceded just two goals in the seven matches the pair
have started together this season - giving credence to the notion
that Rio and Vida can emulate their predecessors illustrious
partnership.
They are shaping up into an impressive partnership and it seems
clear now that it is the pairing that Sir Alex wants to go with,
added McQueen.
