Vidic so proud to take Man Utd captaincy

Nemanja Vidic is delighted with being Manchester United captain.

Sir Alex Ferguson appointed the Vidic captain at the start of the season, and the 29-year-old has responded by ­showing a level of consistency that has seen him short listed for the PFA player-of-the-year award.

Vidic said: "The boss told me at the start of the season he was giving me the captaincy.

"Then after a few games he said that I would be ­captain for the season, which was great news.

"Being captain of United is a big honour and I am ­really enjoying the role."
