Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic admits he wants to improve his scoring record this season.

The tough-tackling Serb was a major factor in United's Premier League title win last term, producing a string of outstanding defensive displays.

Vidic also chipped in with four goals, all headers, proving himself to be a major attacking force at set pieces.

And, while the 26-year-old is yet to open his account this season, he is keen to find the net again and ease some of the pressure on United's struggling strikeforce.

"I plan to score lots of goals this year," he said.

"It doesn't matter how I get them; off my head, my feet and even my stomach. I don't mind as long as the ball goes in.

"I simply want to keep finding the goal and help the team to win more matches."
