Honours at the club: 5 x Premier League, 3 x EFL Cup, 5 x Community Shield, 1 x UEFA Champions League, 1 x FIFA Club World Cup

Another of Sir Alex Ferguson's best pieces of transfer business. Nemanja Vidic was signed for a fee of £10.50 million in 2006.

The hardman from Serbia played a mammoth role in forming a resilient backline at the club after his arrival.

Hailed as one of the best defenders to grace the Premier League, Vidic formed a formidable partnership with Rio Ferdinand in the heart of the defence. The Vidic-Ferdinand pairing has apparently fone down as one of the best center-back pairings in the history of the sport.

Nemanja Vidic earned a reputation for his unrivalled bravery. He is renowned as a player who put his body on the line on numerous occasions and as a defender who was immensely tough to get past. He boasted an astute positional sense and excellent leadership qualities.

Regarded as one of the finest defenders of the modern times, Vidic quit Manchester United for Inter Milan in 2014, with 300 appearances and 21 goals under his belt.
