Nemanja Vidic is a Serbian footballer who captains English Premier League club Manchester United. He was part of the Serbia national football team from 2002 to 2011. After establishing himself at Red Star Belgrade during the early 2000s, Vidic moved to Spartak Moscow in the summer of 2004.

He further increased his reputation when he was part of the "Famous Four" Serbian national team defence that conceded just one goal during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. He would later sign for Man United for around £7m in January 2006 before establishing a prominent defensive partnership with Rio Ferdinand the following season and earning a reputation for his no-nonsense defending. A Yugoslavian youth international, he made his senior debut on 12 October 2002 against Italy in UEFA Euro 2004 qualification. Vidic was part of Serbia and Montenegro's "Famous Four" defence, alongside Mladen Krstajic, Ivica Dragutinovic, and Goran Gavrancic, that conceded just one goal during the ten 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification matches, setting a new record for the fewest goals conceded. Vidic played a major part in the last qualification game, against Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which Serbia and Montenegro won 1–0 and secured qualification; Vidic was given a red card five minutes before the end. Vidic missed out on Serbia and Montenegro's opening group stage match against the Netherlands through suspension from his previous red card, and on 12 June 2006, he injured his left knee ligaments during training and he did not play any games at the 2006 World Cup.

After the 2006 World Cup, Vidic went on to represent the national team, now independent as the Serbian national team. He was a regular during 2010 World Cup qualifying when fit and was instrumental as Serbia finished top of their group ahead of the likes of France and Romania with the best defensive record. Serbia had less luck at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and came in last place in Group D. In a match against Germany in the group stages of the 2010 World Cup, Vidic gave away a penalty in the second half while Serbia were leading 1–0. Luckily, Lukas Podolski's penalty was successfully blocked by goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic. On 11 October, Vidic missed a decisive penalty against Slovenia. On 24 October 2011, Vidic announced his retirement from the Serbian national team because of negative comments from fans about his performances. However, with Siniša Mihajlovic as the new Serbian coach it is rumored that he will reconsider returning to the national team duties for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
