Vidic: Dreams of captaining United to trophies<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Defender Nemanja Vidic says captaining Manchester United to silverware this season would be ‘a dream come true’.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are on course for a Premier League and UEFA Champions League double, sitting top of the domestic table and holding a 2-0 first-leg lead in their European semi-final tie with Schalke.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skipper Vidic, who was handed the armband at the beginning of the campaign and has been a star performer for United this season, is desperate to finish the job with his side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dream<\/span><\/h4>\n

“Obviously it’s a dream to be the captain, especially at such a big club as Manchester United, and lift the trophy,” Vidic told Sky Sports News<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is the dream of any footballer. To be honest, as a player, I never dreamed I could go that far.<\/span><\/p>\n

“To play for such a big club and to be the captain is like something that happens in a dream, and I’m enjoying it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Vidic added that lifting the Champions League trophy at Wembley while wearing the captain’s armband would be particularly special.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said in The Sun<\/em>: “Just playing in the final is an incredible feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But to lift the trophy at Wembley as United captain would be the pinnacle of my career. It would be a dream come true.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Obviously it’s a dream to be the captain, especially at such a big club as Manchester United, and lift the trophy.”
Nemanja Vidic<\/em> Quotes of the week<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The centre-back says United are spurred on by memories of the defeat to Barcelona in the 2009 final.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In a final, you remember the way you lose,” he added. “You want to play again and win.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Vidic is backing in-form team-mate Wayne Rooney to help United realise their trophy ambitions this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Great form<\/span><\/h5>\n

“At the moment he’s in great form, these last few weeks,” he said. “He’s had some great performances and scored some great goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If he performs like he has performed over the last few weeks I think we’ve got a big chance of lifting the trophy this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When he’s fit and doesn’t have injuries, he’s definitely one of the best.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Fellow Red Devils man Michael Carrick agrees Rooney, who was on target against Schalke on Tuesday night, is key to United’s title hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: “He’s been getting better and better. The other night he was sensational again. When he’s playing like that he’s as good as anyone.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
