Exclusive Interviews are back! In this episode, brought to you by Sky Bet, Gary Neville sits down with Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidić to reflect on the highs, lows, and turning points of his incredible career.


Vidić opens up about the early stages of his journey, including near-moves to Liverpool and Aston Villa, before a call from Sir Alex Ferguson changed everything. He shares how he overcame a tough start at Old Trafford to become one of the club’s greatest ever defenders.


The chat also covers playing alongside some of the greats, lifting the Champions League in 2008, and where David Moyes went wrong during his time in Manchester.
