The former Aston Villa told talkSPORT as reported by Daily Mail, “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.”
Despite Agbonlahor’s comment, fellow teammate Ferdinand praised 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.”
Vidic won two Premier League titles with Man United in 2011 and 2013, and three League Cups.
