Nemanja Vidic,Manchester United's Captain Announces Decision To Leave At The End of 2013-14 Season



Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic(DOB Oct 21,1981) has announced he will leave the club at the end of this season after refusing to hold talks over a new deal.


In a statement issued to the club's official website manutd.com, NemanjaVidic said
  'It’s the last year of my contract and I have had eight wonderful years here.
'My time at this great Club will always rank as the best years of my career.  I never could have imagined winning 15 trophies and I will certainly never forget that fantastic night in Moscow, memories that will live with me and the fans forever. 
'However, I have decided that I will move on at the end of this season. I want to challenge myself again and try to make the best of myself in the coming years.
'I’m not considering staying in England as the only club I ever wanted to play for here is Manchester United and I was lucky enough to be part of this Club for so many years. I’ve got a few options to move on and I will choose the right one for me and for my family. 
'I am now going to focus all my efforts on playing for Manchester United and do the best I can for the team until the end of the season. I hope this stops any further speculation about my future.'

David Moyes was keen to keep his club captain at Old Trafford but Vidic, who is out of contract this summer, has decided to move on after eight years in Manchester.
