Vidic adamant he was never going to exit Man Utd

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has insisted he never wanted to leave the club when rumours were circling about his future.

The Serbia international was heavily linked with an Old Trafford departure earlier in the year but he has since said that he was always wanting to remain in Manchester.

"I don't know why people say it was a difficult decision,” he said.

"I always said I'm happy here and obviously I never speak about my future. I never said I wanted to go. I'm very happy to be here.”
