Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic has admitted his admiration for Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic.

The Serbian was one of the top defenders at United late in the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

Now his countryman Milenkovic, who is reportedly a United target, admits to watching Vidic videos to improve his own game.

"When I was little, Serbian defender Vidic, who played for Manchester United, was my idol," he told the Fiorentina official website.

"He was a very strong defender: I still watch the videos of his highlights today."
