Fulham youngster Stephen Arthurworrey models game on Man Utd's Vidic

Fulham defender Stephen Arthurworrey is being likened to Manchester United star Chris Smalling.

But the teen says he models his game on another United defender.

He told fulhamfc.com: "In world football, I like Nemanja Vidic a lot - I try to play in a similar style to him. He does the dirty stuff well and it's very rare that he doesn't come out of a tackle with the ball. For Manchester United, people say Rio Ferdinand is the one who can pass and Vidic is the battler, but I like to think I'm developing my game so that I can be a master of both trades."
