Former Manchester United center-back Nemanja Vidic has come under fire from an unexpected source. Gary Taylor-Fletcher, a striker with a journeyman career that included a stint at Blackpool, has sparked debate by claiming Vidic wasn’t on the same level as other Premier League greats.
Blackpool Striker Claims He Outplayed Vidic
Taylor-Fletcher, referencing his time playing against Vidic, stated the Serbian defender wasn’t even close to the caliber of Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, or Virgil van Dijk.
He went further, comparing Vidic to Martin Skrtel, another solid but not elite defender, and suggesting Vidic wasn’t part of the Premier League’s elite class.
It’s important to note that Taylor-Fletcher, despite playing for 15 clubs, never reached the heights of Vidic.
The Manchester United legend boasts an impressive trophy haul, including five Premier League titles and a Champions League win during his eight-year stay at Old Trafford.
Rating Vidic’s Place Among Premier League Defenders
This criticism has reignited discussions about Vidic’s place among Premier League defenders.
While some may agree with Taylor-Fletcher, highlighting the occasional lapses in Vidic’s game, others will undoubtedly point to his leadership, aerial prowess, and ability to marshal a defense.
Only time will tell where Vidic ultimately settles in the pantheon of Premier League greats. But one thing is certain: Taylor-Fletcher’s comments have ensured renewed debate about the Serbian’s legacy.
