Vidic to leave the scum - with a twist of humour

Vidic's future not with United

Nemanja Vidic has revealed that he will not see out his career at the defending league champions Manchester United.

Even after winning two league titles and one Champions League medal, Vidic would like to play in another European league - which will most likely Primera Liga.

Vidic told Russian magazine Football Weekly that his reason to leave would be because of the Manchester weather.

"In future, I would like to test myself in another top league," said the Serbian defender.

"I'm thinking of Spain. At least there will be no reason to complain about the weather. In England, they say that Manchester is the city of rain. Its main attraction is considered to be the timetable at the railway station, where trains leave for other, less rainy cities."

He added: "I will never stay to live in England, that's for sure," said Vidic, 26. "You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it's all cloudy again. The winters are mild, but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20C. And it rains, rains, rains."

Vidic, who joined United from Spartak Moscow in January 2006, also had harsh words for the English approach to work. "It's not only the weather that I'm not happy about here," he told the Russian magazine Football Weekly. "In Russia and Serbia the people's way of life is similar. In England it's totally different. Here they just don't have time to feel the joy of life.

"Throughout the week they all work so hard. They only talk to people at lunch break. Then in the evening they come home and watch the telly, so they can get up early for work the next day.

"The only time to meet friends is at weekends, but for football players it's the busiest time of all. It was much easier for me to adapt to Russia than England. In England I had no one to talk to. The first month was especially hard. I lived alone in a hotel, which I left only for training. I thought I would go crazy inside those four walls."

I will not stay with Manchester United, says Nemanja Vidic

Nemanja Vidic has placed his long-term Manchester United future in doubt after criticising the English way of life and admitting that he hopes eventually to play in another European league.

In a frank interview, the Serbian defender was scathing of the climate in Manchester, and said he had found it hard to adapt. "I will never stay to live in England, that's for sure," said Vidic, 26. "You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it's all cloudy again. The winters are mild, but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20C. And it rains, rains, rains.

interesting interview - good to know united look after their players when they first sign, no people going out of their way to help him settle, just drop him off at the hotel and we will see at training, later potata.


in fairness manchester is a bit of a **** hole

I give it 2 hours before there's a statement released through the club which says how his words have all been cruelly taken out of context.

[The Erectile Banana]

Vidic knows the score.

Hopefully he'll get his move to warmer climes sooner rather than later.

Considering how valuable top players are these days, you'd think the club would do everything they could to help him settle. If it was me, i'd import half of Serbia to help a new Serbian player settle at LFC.

Incredible that clubs spend so much cash on certain things, but dont seem to be arsed when it comes to helping foreign players settle and feel comfortable.

In fairness though, there isnt much a club can do about the rain

Jaap Stam Mark II

yup, just what i was thinking, how long before he says he was tapped up by Ferige

[Marky]

Personally i think Vidic is the possibly the best centre half in Europe. He's a ****ing monster and he seems like a decent guy as well from the interviews i've saw of him.

I expect him to make a statement on United's website later denying he said all that, misquoted.

wonder how quick he can dismantle a corby trouser press?
