Nemanja Vidic Not Leaving Manchester United

Nemanja Vidic will not be joining Barcelona this summer from Manchester United, the player's agent has confirmed amid reports that a bid from the European champions was imminent.

Paolo Fabbri has revealed that he does not expect any surprises and that the Serbian international defender will be at Old Trafford at the start of the next campaign.



Barcleona were linked with a bid for Vidic as they look to bolster their rearguard, but the Catalan outfit and a number of Italian clubs will be unsuccessful.

“Nemanja Vidic will stay in Manchester,” Paolo Fabbri told Setanta Sports. “I don’t think we will have any surprises in the short term. We are not planning to move.

“This week, on Monday and Tuesday, we were at Manchester United to speak with David Gill, for other reasons, but we also spoke about Vidic.

“Vidic is supposed to stay there. A move is not possible unless some Arab makes a crazy offer!

"But in a normal situation, Nemanja will stay there.

“Barcelona and many other teams can be interested in Vidic - that is another story. Three or four Italian teams would be pleased to have the player.

“But he is under contract. His deal has been already extended until 2012.”
