Neville hails Vidic

[Lazie]

<P class=big>Gary Neville has paid tribute to Nemanja Vidic for raising the bar in Manchester United's back four. <P nd="1">Vidic commanded a fee of £7 million, when signing from Spartak Moscow in January, and has really blossomed this season, as he hasgrown accustomed to the rigors of the Premiership. <P nd="2">United boast the meanest defencein the league this term, having conceded just nine goals from 17 games so far and the skipper insists a large part of that form has been down to their Serbian stopper. <P nd="3">"Nemanja has been nothing short of fantastic over the last two or three months,"Neville enthused. <P nd="4">"He has been an outstanding performer, a good old-fashioned defender who loves to head the ball and loves to tackle. <P nd="5">"He is infectious in the way he makes everybody around him want to defend in the same manner. <P nd="6">"It is great to have defenders like that who never take a backward step." <P nd="7">Unitedhavea healthy leadover champions Chelsea at the top of the table andNeville has reserved special praise for £30 million man Rio Ferdinand for theconsistencyhe has shown this season. <P nd="8">"Rio is very important to our back four and, for me, still the single most important member," Neville added. <P nd="9">"He offers that calmness and experience and positional sense. Nothing fazes him. <P nd="10">"He has an excellent partnership with Nemanja and we are blessed to have them because they complement each other so well. <P nd="11">"Last season, the manager said he wanted to create a solid foundation at the back. We are seeing more of that and we look like we are enjoying defending again." <P nd="12">United's defence will again need to hold firm as they look to see off West Ham United'schallenge at Upton Park on Sunday.
