Vidic in a tussle.
Nemanja Vidic has kicked his first ball as a United player following the completion of his transfer from Spartak Moscow.
The club's new number 15 trained with his fellow Reds for the first time today, having obtained his work permit on Wednesday. He'd previously passed a medical and agreed personal terms.
In a statement, the club said today:
"Manchester United is pleased to announce it has reached agreement with Spartak Moscow for the purchase of 24 year-old Serbia & Montenegro international defender Nemanja Vidic for an undisclosed fee.
"The player has signed a four-and-a-half year contract which will see him at the club until June 2010."
Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I'm delighted we have come to an agreement. Nemanja is a quick, aggressive centre-half and at 24 will be a terrific addition to the squad."
