Nemanja Vidic’s agent has stated that the Serbian international will not be leaving Manchester United during the January transfer window, as the player’s United career has plunged into doubt.
The stalwart defender, who has won three consecutive Premier League titles with United, has been linked to a move after a series of rumours of a falling out with Sir Alex Ferguson which were sparked by the defender’s late withdrawal from the side that lost to Leeds in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Speaking in the post-match interview after the shock 1-0 defeat, Ferguson could not shed any light on what forced Vidic to miss the game.
It is believed that Real are firm admirers of the Serbian international, who is regarded as one of the finest defenders in the Premier League having carved out a fearsome reputation since his £7 million move from Spartak Moscow in January 2006.
Rumours that Vidic is unhappy in England have appeared sporadically in the press but his agent, Paolo Fabbri, is unaware of any desire on the player’s part to leave Old Trafford.
Furthermore, a transfer to Real Madrid in January is also out of the question as United continue their search for silverware, both domestically and in Europe.
“I don’t think he will move [in January],” Fabbri told ESPN Soccernet. “Except for a big surprise, at the moment I don’t see any solution to leave the team. I don’t think so.
“I don’t know anything about [suggestions Vidic is unhappy at Old Trafford]. The last time I spoke with him he was happy. Since the defeat of a few days ago [against Leeds] I haven’t spoken with him.
“Frankly speaking I haven’t spoken with him recently so I cannot answer to this question. According to Silvano [Martina, Vidic's other agent], the last time he spoke to him – I don’t know if it was one week, ten days, 15 days ago – there was no problem.”
