NOT MOVING

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic’s agent has said that the rumours linking him with a move to Italy are rubbish. Nemanja Vidic is currently nursing an injury, which has kept him out for most of the campaign.

He is expected to be back only by August. However, there have already been reports linking him with a move to Italian club Juventus. Juventus are finally back at the top of the Italian Serie A. It has taken them six years to regain their footing in the top division of Italian football following their relegation to the second division in 2006 after being found guilty of the match fixing.

Nemanja Vidic is being spoken of as one of the signings, as Juventus look to build a team capable of challenging for the Champions League once again. It has a long time since an Italian team won the Champions League. Juventus are in the rebuilding stage whereby they look the real deal. However, Nemanja Vidic’s agent has said that there is no truth in rumours linking him with a move to Juventus. The Italian club are currently three points ahead of current Champions AC Milan in the Italian Serie A table with only three matches remaining in the season.

“Vidic is still out with a cruciate ligament injury. You have to consider that he has a non-EU passport and that would make it difficult for him to arrive in Serie A. I can assure you that I have never spoken with Juventus about Nemanja,” Martina told Tuttomercatoweb regarding the future of Nemanja Vidic. Meanwhile, the club have now confirmed that their 30-year-old captain will be fit for the next season. Manchester United are hoping to have the player on the pre-season, which will be a massive boost for Sir Alex Ferguson.

VIDIC BACK SOONER RATHER THAN LATER

One of Manchester United’s most important defenders, Nemanja Vidic had been out of the side’s playing squad due to an injury that he sustained while playing against Basel in the Champions League.

Manchester United lost that match, in December, and the team’s physicians had originally predicted that the defender could be out for as long as 12 months.
