Following a summer of denying that Nemanja Vidic was leaving the club, our defender’s agent was quoted as saying that the player was ‘dreaming’ of a move to Barcelona. He has since denied saying that but it of course has left fans unsettled.
The papers claimed that Manchester United were planning a new and improved contract for Vidic which would extend his current deal with expires in 2012.
Regardless, Vidic has today denied the rumours and says you only have to see how he plays to know how committed he is to our club.
“I showed at Wigan on the pitch by how I played how happy I am at this club,” said Vidic. “Anyone who is a fan of United or the players would only have to see how I played to know how committed I am to United. I spoke with my agent. I know about all the rumours about me, but I don’t want it to have an impact on the club. It’s not a good time for my club to be hearing those rumours. I’m here and I’m committed. I’ll show that with how I play in matches. But I will never speak about my future and I will never talk about moving to other clubs.”
One of the reasons cited for Vidic’s apparent desire to leave was his wife who was unhappy with life in Manchester, something our defender also denies.
“It’s not true that my wife is not happy,” he added. “I don’t know how that rumour came out.”

Good to know that. Vida is an important player. We need to keep all our best players. Whats the deal with the Modric+Cash for Carrick rumour? Anyway. I hope its jus paper talk.
It was just a tactic to get Vida a bigger salary. Which I’m fine with seeing as how he’s one of the best backs in the world.
Keep reading bout some bust up between SAF & Anderson?? Is this true or yet more paper shite??
Do anything to keep him SAF. It’s such a difference when he’s on the pitch. Even the other players seemed more determined and confident when he’s around.
Haven’t heard anything about Linvoy. Paper shit probably.
Happy to see that the big man has finally put the idioic rumors to rest.
Hehe.. first its a bust up with Carrick and now its Ando.. hmm.. It’s looking like Gibson will get a lot of game time this year..
I hope the Carrick-Modric story is shit. I wouldn’t mind Modric but not at Micky Cazza’s expense.
Vidic is the best defender in the world, followed by Rio the rude boy, followed by Glen Johnson. Ha
I’m glad he has quashed the rumours but I’m still miffed as to why his agent would go on to Catalan radio displaying the wish for vidic to join Barca without discussing it with Vidic, For me their is no smoke without fire & I can see why he would want to join Barca & clearly his wife and kids would prefer a country which is sunny plus Barca are the greatest team in the world at the moment! Nevertheless fergie would not allow vidic to leave as he is indispensable! What’s going on with Anderson?? I heard he had a bust up with Fergie, I also heard that Fergie had a bust up with Carrick too! What is up with our players, they seem very unsettled at the moment, not a good look as we have a tough game against a scintilating Arsenal!
Just saw the ‘Ando-Fergie bust up’ story and apparently Ando was angry at missing out on the community shield squad hence the ‘bust up’
Great news about Vid. He was a rock again on Saturday.
It is the Mirror that is running that story. Anderson really does need to step up this season, been unimpressive for a few months now. Wouldn’t believe the story too much, its the same paper that ran that ridiculous article about Owen’s celebration.
Wtf is this shite about Ando – Fergie row? What a crock of shite way to sell your paper.
Vidic and Rooney will lead United this season, theres no doubt about it.
Modric is one of the great. ManU need player like him, the creator of game, they didn t have that kind of player for a long time. Somebody with great tehnik. He is worth of every penny.
There’s no way he’s going from united.
Like he says, you just need to see how he plays.
What a great player
Fantastic news
Vidic – my rock.
Vidic for Captain anyone ?!

ooops, can you delete what i just wrote scott, didnt mean 2 post it..
saw this bit aswel
“It’s not true that my wife is not happy. I don’t know how that rumour came out, she’s not what you’d call a famous wife. She’s never spoken to a newspaper.”
good to see his happy
@20legend99
completely agree with you mate.
and LOL at the whole Ando v/s SAF ‘bust-up’ report. that is not a bust-up in any sense of the word. if Ando is unhappy with SAF’s selection he needs to GTFO. he has yet to reach his prime and hasn’t deserved an automatic place.
if players like Giggs or Cantona or Keano or Scholes disagreed with SAF in their heyday then that could be called a bust-up. but then again these are great players who more than respected SAF and kept their gobs shut.
can’t wait for the gooners game now. Go Vida, Fletch and Rooney!!
just one good news after another, ohhh man i feel so good.. is this day for real? or is it just a dream. Jesus christ how can news about football have so much effects on my emotional well being hehe
This is what separates a committed United player as compared to one who doesnt say anything to deny rumours. Yes, I am referring to Ronaldo. Much as I like him as a player, he hasn’t got the class.
Brown played for the reserves
Vidic was a rock on Saturday, good to know he’s happy. Neville wasn’t too rusty either. Anderson? I keep hoping he’ll grow into the team but he just seems to tease; good in parts, rather like Nani. If they don’t stake a place soon they’ll find it harder when Hargreaves grabs a regular slot in midfield.
You can call it as you like but Vida could have been more honest.
phrases like
“but I don’t want it to have an impact on the club.”
“It’s not a good time for my club to be hearing those rumours.”
are pretty much ambiguous.
and
“I’m here and I’m committed. I’ll show that with how I play in matches. But I will never speak about my future and I will never talk about moving to other clubs.”
remind me of the famous “Only God knows the fiture” etc from formely one of us.
But he definetly deserves more than 60k.
good morning everyone
@corea.ya mate.those statements were ambigious,but i have faith in vida.actually what he is talking makes sense.its really a bad time for us having lost Ronny.these things can unsettle teams.lookat the lescott saga.he deserves same 90k
Easily our best defender by a country mile, and someone we HAVE to hold onto. Glad to see his heart is in the right place. We need Vidic to push past #19 and onto other glories.
Give him the contract he deserves and put this miserable rumor to bed…
good morning aig mate
just give him whatever he wants and a little extra cos he is worth it..he has brilliant chemistry with rio..and the other players feel extra confident knowing he is at the back..so instead of saying..let the saga continue..be done with it..
@dakota
good morning.
actually feel there was nothing concrete in this.the press in the Uk just kept writing shit every time.Vida has always been commited.Every time a United player has a good season he is linked with a host of clubs.His agent too must have got fed up of denying these rumours time and again.also i feel he is developing a good understanding with evans.rio is getting increasingly injury prone so vida has to be the orchestrator and leader in defence organising them for set pieces.
Thank fu*king Jebus Vidic has come out and said that!! after seeing the dipper scum lose yesterday this news has put a even bigger smile on me… 1 problem.. why do people even read that rag the mirror?? (ok I know that a lot of dippers read it as it matches their intelligence) yesterday it was the little Mickey story/rant today its Anderson, tomorrow they will have quotes from Vidic’s wife stating her uncle’s wife’s sisters 2nd cousin is from Barcelona and she will get her man to join Barca as she wants to be closer to her family.. I swear the mirror just makes things up to keep the dippers happy!!!!
vida the beast for future captain…
Good on ya vida.
Oh yes Vidic,Love you loads.OUR ROCK FOR THE WORLD!
