The 31-year-old is currently in the last year of his contract and the Italian giants are looking to take advantage of David Moyes' lack of speed in concluding a contract extension.

Tevez, who played for United for two seasons alongside the defender, feels Vidic has the ability to succeed in the Serie A.
"He is very strong, a really good defender," he told Tuttosport.

"I played with him and against him, when I moved to Manchester City.
"Of course he'd be very suitable for the Italian championship."

The Serbian international has struggled in recent years with persistent knee injuries, which restricted him to only 25 Premier League appearances in the past two seasons.

Vidic has made six starts for United during the new campaign, however has been unable to stop his side sliding to three defeats from their opening seven matches.

If Vidic fails to agree terms with United over a contract extension, he would be able to leave the club on a free transfer next summer.
