Inter Milan have confirmed that Manchester
United defender Nemanja Vidic will be joining
them next season.
The Serie A outfit says the 32-year-old
Serbian has signed for them, although refused
to reveal the length of contract the player has
inked.
Vidic, who has won five league titles with the
premier League champions since joining for
£7m from Spartak Moscow in December 2005,
confirmed his intention to end an eight-and-
a-half-year stay at United last month.
“Vidic is a world-class player,” Inter president
Erick Thohir told his club’s website .
Vidic Will be Joining Inter Milan.
“I’m extremely happy to have completed this
deal to bring Nemanja to Milan. He’s one of
the world’s best defenders and his qualities,
international pedigree and charisma will be an
asset to the team and help bring through our
younger players.
“He will bring added value to the club and is
another piece of the great Inter side we are
building. I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank Manchester United,
Nemanja and his entourage for the
professional and cooperative approach they
have shown throughout the negotiations.”
The decision for the centre-back, who has
made over 204 league appearances for the
‘Red Devils’ since making his debut against
Blackburn in January 2006 is mutual, said
United manager David Moyes.
He remained United’s skipper, despite
announcing his decision to part ways with the
club.
Inter are fifth on the Serie A log, 11 points
behind third-placed Napoli, and are- like
United- on the verge of losing out of next
season’s Champions League.
