Both awards are richly deserved with United returning from lifting the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan in December by stretching their winning run to 12 league games without conceding a goal, overtaking Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.
The Red Devils began the year with an emphatic 3-0 victory against Chelsea at Old Trafford, with Vidic heading home the opener deep in first-half stoppage-time.
That was followed by 1-0 victories over Wigan, Bolton and Everton either side of a 5-0 hammering of West Bromwich Albion, with Vidic again among the scorers.
