"Vidic is spoken about with great respect in Manchester. He left an indelible mark at United. I will do my best to repeat the success that Vidic had, and I know that it will be very tough.
"I do not want them to ask me someday 'What are you even doing here?’ I'm privileged to be following in his footsteps, and if I'm even half as respected among the fans as Nemanja I will be overjoyed."
Meanwhile, Nicky Butt insists Mourinho is interested in United’s academy, which he said will never be like some clubs who “cast their net out and trawl them (young players) all in like fish, but then dump them without realising they are just kids.”
"I am lucky to have a manager who communicates with me and is interested in some of the younger ones," Butt said.
"We have discussions about them, who to bring up to senior training and who to look at, such as the last game of last season (against Crystal Palace) when we had six debutants. That was unbelievable
"In that sense I'm lucky, but it doesn't surprise me. When the manager came in, he was honest with me. He said that his role was to get United back to winning ways, it wasn't to run the academy because that was my job.
"But he said he would be here for me to lean on, to help, join in and watch sessions. He said he would discuss players with me in terms of who to bring up, who to put out on loan, but ultimately, he said I was the boss of the Academy and he was the boss of the first-team. If I'm perfectly honest, that's just the way I want it."
