Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic has confessed to a growing fear of flying. The Old Trafford Serbian-born defender tells Inside United – the official magazine of Manchester United – "I'm starting to get more worried each time I fly.
"My wife isn't very good on planes and the more travelling I do with her the more she makes me nervous. "And obviously I travel a lot with Manchester United, so sometimes I think the more I get on the plane, the more chance there is of something going wrong. "I think Sir Bobby Charlton is amazing. He was involved in a terrible air crash yet he still flies. He is a very, very courageous man. I cannot imagine doing that, definitely not."
Vidic says training with players like Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez and Saha has helped him become a better player. "Training with those players would make anyone better. And it's not just those four. There are so many great players here, people who can beat you one on one,” he said. "That's fantastic from my point of view because it helps gauge where I am. There's also competition for places, and I can do with tough challenges in training. "It all helps me improve and keep my place in the team."
