The Serbian defender enjoyed a successful eight-year stint as a player at Old Trafford - where he won five Premier League titles - and dreams of stepping into the dugout at Old Trafford in the future.

Vidic told The Overlap: "If I was to manage or coach anyone, it would have to be Manchester United.

"I like things when they’re difficult and to change something from difficult to good, this is something I like to do."

Vidic is hoping to get back into football in some form, although he is also occupied by his housing business interests and raising his three children.

The former player said: "I'm open to an opportunity to be a coach, or to work in football as a Sporting Director, or even the Serbian President of the FA – that was the plan a few years ago – it didn’t happen but maybe it could happen in the future.

“Obviously, what I’m doing outside [of football], business wise, creating a company which is going to be not just successful but is going to be who I am as well.

"Everything I do, I like to do the best I can, and to produce the quality. In the business I’m doing now, with the apartments, that’s what I’m trying to achieve as well. To create good apartments and nice buildings, which I’m going to be proud walking in, and being proud of what I’ve built."

Vidic's eldest son Luka signed a professional contract with Serbian club Zeleznicar Pancevo last year but the former United stalwart can't help but watch his boy with a critical eye.

He said: "It’s difficult watching my son play football because he’s playing centre-back and I see everything in terms of what he can do better.

"I’m the type of person that when they see, they have to say – I can’t keep it to myself. He’s learning now to accept that but it’s good. I like watching him when I see his improvement and in the last year, he has improved a lot."
