The duo were no doubt one of the best defensive pair in world football, and were the foundation upon which the last golden era at Old Trafford was built.
With a lot of Premier League titles, a Champions League and other cups between them. The duo were dissolved when Ferguson's successor David Moyes took over.
Ferdinand speaking with the England's U-16 team said : "Vidic was the best partner I had."
He went further to state that their partnership was instinctive and not a training ground developed one.
"We didn't work on it in training, we could smell each other's movement, you just knew, it was instinct."
“I knew when he was going to go tight and I'd go round and cover. I knew when he was going to drop off, I'd push in.”
"He was the best partner and favourite partner I played with."
This season United have enjoyed some defensive stability with the ever present Chris Smalling being the spine of the defence.
