Nemanja Vidic: 'I want to be Manchester United manager'

Former Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has revealed his desire to manage the club in the future.

Vidic currently works as a television pundit and has not yet entered the world of management since hanging up his boots two years ago, but he is keen to lead his former club at some stage.

The Serbian admitted that United are not currently reaching the heights they came to expect under previous boss Sir Alex Ferguson following Sunday's 3-1 derby defeat to Manchester City.

"If you're speaking about the Sir Alex Ferguson era and comparing now the last three, four years, definitely Manchester United is not on the level fans [are] expecting," Vidic told beIN Sports.

"We have to believe the club is going forward. To be honest, in the future, I would like to be the manager."

Vidic made 300 appearances for United across all competitions during his playing days, helping the club to five Premier League titles, one Champions League and three League Cups.
