(Reuters) - Former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is keen to follow in the footsteps of his former boss Alex Ferguson and become a "real manager".

Vidic played under Ferguson for more than seven years at United, helping the club win five Premier League titles, one Champions League trophy and several cup competitions, before the Serbian moved to Italy's Inter Milan in 2014.
