NEMANJA VIDIC left former Manchester United team-mate Rio Ferdinand in stitches.
That’s after aiming a cheeky dig at ex-Red Devils chief Ed Woodward.
The legendary centre-backs played together at Old Trafford for nine years, securing five Premier League titles and one Champions League.
Ferdinand and Vidic both departed the club in 2014, a year after Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
But they remain firm friends off the pitch.
And Vidic, now studying to be a coach, made a surprise appearance on Ferdinand’s Vibe with Five podcast to discuss all things United.

But the Serbian ace, who finished his career with Inter Milan, made Ferdinand howl with laughter after a hilarious quip about ex-CEO Woodward.
When asked if he had any regrets at United, Vidic joked: “The only thing I have as a regret is that I didn’t have Ed Woodward in my time.”
This caused Ferdinand to burst out laughing, with Vidic adding: “Why are you laughing?”
Ferdinand answered: “Because of money. You’re talking money and contracts.”

“David Gill and Fergie were at the club, trying to set up the levels of salaries, structure — what they have now, what they are going to get, what you have to do to get there. So if you ask me for regrets…
“I think Woodward had a lot of time to bring the club in the right direction.
“I think Richard Arnold is doing well in a short period of time, bringing in Erik ten Hag and certain things they did in the last six months, one year is showing the club is strong. I see some improvement.”
