Nemanja Vidic dreaming of Manchester United return! Legendary defender eyeing manager's job at Old Trafford in future

Vidic has spoken to The Overlap and was asked about the prospect of becoming a manager in future, and outlined his objective to become United boss. The ex-Serbia international won the Premier League five times, and the Champions League, during his time at Old Trafford.

Vidic's objectives may be a little beyond him, given that he has never managed a team before. He retired in 2016, after a spell at Inter Milan, but has yet to take the step into the dugout.

Vidic said: “If I was to manage or coach anyone, it would have to be Manchester United.

"I like things when they’re difficult and to change something from difficult to good, this is something I like to do.”

Asked about his current plans, Vidic replied:  "I'm open an opportunity to be a coach, or to work in football as a Sporting Director, or even the Serbian President of the FA – that was the plan a few years ago – it didn’t happen but maybe it could happen in the future.

“Obviously, what I’m doing outside [of football], business wise, creating a company which is going to be not just successful but is going to be who I am as well.

"Everything I do, I like to do the best I can, and to produce the quality. In the business I’m doing now, with the apartments, that’s what I’m trying to achieve as well. To create good apartments and nice buildings, which I’m going to be proud walking in, and being proud of what I’ve built.”

Vidic will have a close eye on United throughout the upcoming season. They face Leeds on July 19 in their next pre-season friendly.
