Vidic liked it. He loved the challenge of sticking his head in there. You could tell that the thrill of contesting those 50-50 balls animated him.”Naturally, there has been an argument in respect to where he may rank amongst the greatest defenders of the Premier League era, and in a poll from Sky Sports, that question was seemingly answered.After seeing off competition from the likes of John Terry, Sol Campbell, Tony Adams and Ferdinand, amongst others, the final two left standing were Vidic and Liverpool’s Ballon d’Or contender Virgil van Dijk.The final result? Van Dijk with 45% of the vote, and United’s defensive machine with the all-important 55% to secure the win. After seeing the results, Red Devils fans flooded to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the matter.Many supporters of the Manchester side revealed they were left confused by the poll and wondered how the results were even that close.Some fans simply hailed Vidic and showered him with glowing praise for his performances for United.Check out some of the reaction of United fans below:
