Premier League - Vidic interview 'a fake'

Eurosport - Thu, 02 Jul 21:46:00 2009

Nemanja Vidic's agent has quashed speculation the Manchester United defender will leave Old Trafford this summer.

FOOTBALL Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic celebrates scoring against Chelsea in the Premier League. Vidic said that United could match Barcelona's attacking prowess in the Champions League final on Wednesday May 27 - 0

The Serbia international has been linked Barcelona, Milan and Inter Milan amid reports his family are unsettled in Manchester. However, the player is under contract at Old Trafford until 2012 and his agent Silvano Martina believes he will stay put.

"Even though Vidic has not spoken for the last three months, there have been false interviews published in the press," Martina told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I read that he wants to leave, that his wife is not happy at Manchester but all of these stories are false."

He added: "He is very annoyed and saddened by these stories that give the wrong impression.

"In football you never know what can happen, but I believe he will remain at Manchester United, one of the strongest clubs in the world.

"If Vidic or I should have problems with the club (United), we will talk directly to Alex Ferguson and not to the newspapers."

Vidic joined United in January 2006 after two years at Spartak Moscow.

  2. Vidic is one of the best defenders in the world of­ football and I personally believe he is at the top of­ his game at United and that he has no intention of­ leaving whatsoever!

  3. Let's face it, these rumours only came to the­ surface after Vidic seriously cocked up in the game­ against Liverpool and also in the Champions League­ final and the performances in these games did not­ warrant the label as one of the best defenders in the­ game. Great performances in the big games, define great­ players.

  4. why is Landon Donnovan keep being mentioned that's­ just ridiculous.

  5. Vidic is certainly the best defender in the world for­ now.I would advise fergie to look for a strong­ defensive and skillfull attacking midfilder next­ seasson.Please sale off Nani,Anderson,Ushe,paul.S,gary­ N,babatov,welbeck,cartcat.We can raise money to buy­ more quality players next seasson.

  6. Man U should sign Landon Donnovan. He's as good as­ Berbatov but way cheaper

  8. Whats going on at United? ever since Ron left no one­ wants to join them and people wanna leave - something­ fishy going on!!

  9. Vidic was a bargain and proved himself as a good­ defender. As a Blue I wish would have bought him he is­ a good defender in my eyes better than Ferdinand. I­ hope for Utd sake he stays

    Vidic playes with hart and not for the money, just like­ tevez ,essien, gatusso or puyol do.
    If you doubt him­ after what he's done for you United tahn you­ don't deserve him.
    Come to barca boy , u and pique­ are the future...

    From stephen p, on Thu 2 Jul 6:40PM

  15. Vidic will stay but so far the quality of the top of in­ the EPL has gone down. I expect the forthcoming UCL to­ be more competitive with barca, madrid, inter,­ juventus,milan all improving and making it further in­ the competition. europa league will be good too

  18. Vidic, Ferdinand and Terry are the best defenders

    From shandu_93, on Thu 2 Jul 6:16PM

  19. Vidic has won more trophies and medals then he would­ have won if had been playing at any other club other­ then Man U since he joined. He knows that, all the Man­ U haters know that, but best of all, all the MAN U FANS­ KNOW THAT, eat your jealous hearts out
