Agbonlahor names 4 centre-backs who he believes are better than Utd legend Vidic

Former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor caused a stir while revealing his all-time Premier League XI.

Some fans took issue with Agbonlahor claiming that former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic would not get anywhere near the team.

He went on to name four Premier League greats who he believed were far better than the Serbian defender.

Vidic has been hailed as one the best centre-backs in English top-flight history.

But Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: 'Vidic wasn't all that!

'Van Dijk is better than Vidic. 100%.

'(Virgil) Van Dijk & (Vincent) Kompany over Vidic. JT (John Terry) & Rio (Ferdinand) are the best.'

Vidoc joined Manchester United from Spartak Moscow in a £7million transfer in 2006, and formed a centre-back pairing with Rio Ferdinand.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side secured a hat-trick of Premier League titles between 2007 and 2009, as well as winning the Champions League in 2008.

Vidic won two further league titles, in 2011 and 2013, and three League Cups.

Ferdinand hailed Vidic as a 'complete' defender.

He said: 'He became a defender that was feared.

'He could fight with the most physical, he crunched into tackles, and he attacked the ball better than anyone I have ever seen.

'But, as he will tell you with a smile, he could also play with the ball too, which made him complete and a great defender.'
