Advice

One man used to strong challenges is fellow Serb Nemanja Vidic and Nastasic revealed that the rivalry with the Manchester United skipper had not prevented his compatriot being a huge help. "When I arrived, I asked him for advice. I spoke with him then and still speak with him," added the youngster. "He gave me general advice, not just about football but about lifestyle and young players adapting to English football. For me, he is a great friend and a great person."
