Nemanja Matic sealed a reunion with Jose Mourinho after joining in a £40million deal on Monday from Chelsea.
Matic will become the third Serbian to turn out for Manchester United.
The Red Devils have spent close to £150m in acquisitions, as they seek to challenge for the Premier League and Champions League this season.
And Matic has explained he will do his best to make United legend Vidic proud of him.
“He was a great player, he was one of the players who I look to be similar to because he had a great career,” Matic told the club’s official website.

“When I came first time to the Serbian national team he was one of the captains, one of the leaders, so it is great to be in the same club as him and I will try to repeat what he did at this club.
“I know it is going to be very hard but I will try to do the best because I don’t want him turning to me one day and saying, ‘what are you doing there?!’ so I will try to do my best for him to be happy.”
United face Real Madrid in the Super Cup next week and Matic is looking forward to the challenge.
