Vidic identifies Man Utd’s summer transfer priority

Nemanja Vidic believes Manchester United should prioritise strengthening their midfield over defensive reinforcements this summer.

United are preparing for a big summer of transfer activity, once the club has appointed a permanent manager.

Previous boss Jose Mourinho was desperate to solidify his defence but former United centre-back Vidic reckons their need is greater in midfield.

When asked whether he would like to see Toby Alderweireld make the move to Old Trafford, Vidic said: “Of course, I would like to see him there.

“But I think the club has to have a priority.

“What I see is, if you want to be in the Champions League next season and challenge for the Premier League, you have to strengthen the midfield.

“You need that depth in the midfield area.

“In defence they already have five players, so they can rotate, and it seems like they’re doing well.”
