Vidic opens up to Ferdinand over ‘nightmare’ start at Man Utd; reveals he almost joined LiverpoolMan Utd legend Nemanja Vidic reveals that he had a “nightmare” start at Old Trafford and argued with Ryan Giggs after just three training sessions.
“I spoke with Rafa Benitez and he was the one who was first in touch with me when I was at Spartak Moscow. My English was not good, my wife Ana was actually talking to him because my English was not great. Vidic remembers finding it tough to settle in at Man Utd initially with the Serbian recalling an argument he got into with Red Devils legend Giggs.
“I was arguing with Giggsy after three trainings – he was starting to be angry. ‘Pass the ball, you have to play faster!’ I was like , “man, come on! I can’t move!”. Ferdinand said: “I remember me and Wazza were talking about you and Patrice and we thought “wow, these guys have a long way to go. They are struggling, they are off the pace.
“These guys were competing every training [session] because no one could guarantee next season you’d be there.
