Manchester United have had a lot of problems to find a leader in the team, for many seasons it has been difficult in many ways to find a leader of the team, someone who knows how to lead and has a great commitment to the Old Trafford club, this player has not come to the club since the Serbian defender left the team.

It has been about finding someone who was part of a winning team, this player was a solid base to play from, in those days Sir Alex Ferguson gave a lot of priority to this type of player who needed to be a leader, in large part it helped his personal success, so that then that became the collective success of the Red Devils, it was a partnership that was achieved.

The problems in defence have been dissolving in this last season, the signing of last season is starting to work, thanks to the new signing they made in defence, between Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane they are building a good defensive duo, it is a start of something important for the club, because for many years they have not had regular central defenders, now with this pair they have five clean sheets together this season.

But they are far from being able to approach the legend of the Red Devils' defence, Nemanja Vidic, who arrived from Spartak Moscow, this player came to be a great reference point for the team, he was surrounded by great players, with them he improved and also helped his teammates to improve, the team was very safe with the Serbian defending.

Nemanja Vidic won five PL, one Champions League and left 95 clean sheets

In addition to the great stats that this defender who was captain of the team left behind, he was a really committed defender, he was very committed to his defensive duties, he was always a player who gave his all to help the Red Devils succeed on the pitch, he was always someone Sir Alex could rely on, that's how this unknown Serbian became an idol at Old Trafford.
