2. First Premier League title in 2007
Vidic’s first full season at United was a successful one as United won their first league title for four years finishing six points ahead of bitter rivals Chelsea. That season, Vidic scored his first of 20 goals for United at the DW Stadium against Wigan, a game which finished 3-1 in favour of the Red Devils. The first time Vidic was acknowledged by his fellow professionals was in 2007 as Vidic was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year after his first full season in England.
3. FIFA World XI
Vidic was named in the FIFA World XI on two occasions, in 2009 and in 2011. He first selection came in 2009 when he made the elite team alongside the likes of Iker Casillas, Dani Alves, John Terry, teammate Patrice Evra, the Barcelona duo of Xavi and Andres Iniesta, Steven Gerrard, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. The same season, United won the League title and reached the Champions League final in Rome, with Vidic at the heart of their defence. In that campaign, United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar achieved a Premier League record of 14 matches and 1,311 minutes without leaking a goal – a sequence that continued from November 2008 to February 2009, and coincided with Vidic earning the Premier League Player of the month in January 2009.
