“Nemanja Vidic has been such an influence. He is the envy of the whole league and he has been a brilliant, brilliant player for us.”- Sir Bobby Charlton
Sir Bobby Charlton has described Nemanja Vidic as the 'envy' of the Barclays Premier League after the Serbian defender deservedly scooped two Player of the Year Awards on Sunday night.
Vidic played a huge part in the Reds' title success and Sir Bobby believes the 27-year-old defender is a worthy winner of the accolades usually reserved for attacking players.
"It’s normally the glamour players who get these prizes, but Nemanja deserves this,” Sir Bobby told ManUtd.com.
“He has been such an influence. He is the envy of the whole league and he has been a brilliant, brilliant player for us.”
Vidic has proved a solid presence at the back - helping United to notch up 34 clean sheets in the 52 games he has featured in so far this season - while his versatility and keen eye for goal has yielded six goals in all competitions.
Scorer of the first goal in January's 3-0 demolition of Chelsea, Vida also grabbed a crucial winner against Sunderland in December and netted what proved to be the deciding goal in November’s thrilling 4-3 home victory over Hull.
Sir Bobby is particularly impressed with the Serbian’s aerial ability, believing his heading prowess to be the trait that sets him apart from others.
