PL legend Nemanja Vidic gives his review of Tottenham’s Micky Van de Ven

Nemanja Vidic has become the latest pundit to jump on the Micky van de Ven hype train, with the Manchester United legend admitting that he has loved what he has seen from the Tottenham star so far this season.

Van de Ven was a relative unknown to most Premier League fans when he made the move from Wolfsburg last summer but less than a year into his time in England, he is already being talked about as one the best centre-backs in the division.

The 22-year-old continues to enhance his reputation with each game that he plays and on Sunday, the youngster showed that he also has a different string to his bow, producing a fierce shot from the edge of the box that almost tore the net off in the second-half.

Van de Ven has come in for a lot of praise on the back of Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, with Jamie Redknapp insisting that the Dutchman can go on to achieve what his compatriot Virgil van Dijk has done at Liverpool (Sky Sports).

It is now the turn of Vidic to speak in glowing terms about the Spurs defender, with the Serbian insisting that there is a lot more to come from the youngster.

The Man Utd legend told Premier League Productions: “It is always nice to score a goal as a defender. It gives you confidence in future games. I hit loads like that…in training! I think he’s a young boy and there is more to come from him. He is a fantastic defender.”

Vidic is one of the best centre-backs the Premier League has ever seen and he knows more than most what it takes to thrive in that position. The 42-year-old certainly knows a top centre-back when he sees one, which is why these words of praise would further boost Van de Ven’s confidence.
