Nemanja Vidic's impressive rise from surprise Christmas Day signing to stalwart of United's defence hasearned him the respect ofReds fansworldwide.
ManUtd.com readers have votedhim Player of the Month for October,ahead of perennial fans' favourite Wayne Rooney andFrench defender Patrice Evra who, like Vidic, made his debut in January 2006.
More than one third of the 91,000 votes were cast in Vidic's favour, following a month in which he played every minute of United's five matches in the Barclays Premiership and Champions League. He also scored his first goal for the club, a header at Wigan where the Reds came back from 1-0 down to win 3-1.
"Nemanja is such a brave lad, he's not afraid to stick his head in," said Sir Alex Ferguson recently.
"If you do that, you're going to get a good percentage of goals and hopefully the one at Wigan is his first of many."
Ferguson's quote in the Portsmouth match programme proved prophetic - Vida scored again that very afternoon, as the Reds dispatched Pompey 3-0. That performance could stand the Serbian defenderin good stead when the November poll comes around.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
