Vidic to remain at Manchester United

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic will not be leaving the club to join Barcelona or Juventus, according to his agent.

The Serbian, currently sidelined with a knee injury that restricted him to just 16 appearances last term, has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

Juventus and Barcelona have both been credited with an interest in the 30-year-old, while big-spending Anzhi have also been lurking.

But Silvano Martina, who represents Vidic, insists his client is more than happy at United.

"Vidic is not playing at this time because he has had surgery. He is only thinking about his recovery and not about the transfer market," he said.

"Juventus are complete with their non-EU players for this season and it is highly unlikely they will make a bid for Vidic.

"I can categorically rule out any interest from them.

"Vidic is already part of a top club and there are no negotiations with Juventus or Barcelona."
