Kahn not convinced by Vidal quality

After Franz Beckenbauer criticized Arturo Vidal, fellow Bayern Munich great Oliver Kahn acknowledged he remains unconvinced by the Chilean.

Bayern Munich legend Oliver Kahn says he is not convinced Arturo Vidal has what it takes to contribute to Pep Guardiola's side regularly this season.

The Chile international was on target in Saturday's 3-0 win over Darmstadt, having come in for criticism earlier this week from Bayern legend Franz Beckenbauer.

Honorary president Beckenbauer suggested Vidal's lack of movement was problematic for Bayern, adding that the former Juventus man's "effort has to be right."

Guardiola leapt to his player's defense on Friday although Kahn said on Sunday he remains unsure whether Vidal can consistently add to Guardiola's side.
