Former Manchester United player, Nemanja Vidic, has named his three best favourite defenders playing in the Premier League at the moment.
Speaking to The Times, Vidic named Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven and Arsenal duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, as his best defenders.
“The best defenders now? I like talking about the young ones,” Vidic said.
“Micky van de Ven [at Tottenham Hotspur]. He’s fast, strong and good in the air, and has capabilities to really improve.
“The two from Arsenal [William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes] are doing well. Watching them, I feel they like defending and want the clean sheet. I like the mentality they show. And they are a partnership. That is important.”
Vidic formed a formidable partnership with Rio Ferdinand during his time at Man United.
