Vidic is off then.

[darkman]

 

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the current season.

The centre-back moved to Old Trafford from Spartak Moscow in 2006 and has won five Premier League titles and the Champions League with the Red Devils

 

Goal understands Inter are keen on signing the Serbian in the summer, although they will face competition from Monaco, and Vidic confirmed he wants to move abroad.

"It's the last year of my contract and I have had eight wonderful years here. My time at this great club will always rank as the best years of my career," he said in a statement to the club's official website.

"I never could have imagined winning 15 trophies and I will certainly never forget that fantastic night in Moscow, memories that will live with me and the fans forever.

"However, I have decided that I will move on at the end of this season. I want to challenge myself again and try to make the best of myself in the coming years.

"I’m not considering staying in England as the only club I ever wanted to play for here is Manchester United and I was lucky enough to be part of this club for so many years. I’ve got a few options to move on and I will choose the right one for me and for my family.

"I am now going to focus all my efforts on playing for Manchester United and do the best I can for the team until the end of the season. I hope this stops any further speculation about my future."

Fletch >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

 

So inspiring 

 

Would've been special if we could've won the league this season

 

 

Darren Fletcher has revealed the full extent of his battle against the career-threatening condition ulcerative colitis, admitting that he went from feeling “untouchable” to having to lie to his Manchester United team-mates to hide the true nature of his illness.

 

Fletcher, who celebrated his 30th birthday last Saturday, has overcome a four-year ordeal with colitis in order to make a first-team return at United, with eight appearances since an emotional comeback against Aston Villa at Villa Park in December.

 

Since first succumbing to the condition in 2010, the Scotland captain has missed more than two years of football and undergone lengthy medical treatment, including a series of operations, in an effort to regain his health.

 

However, speaking alongside former England rugby union international Lewis Moody, a fellow colitis sufferer, at the launch of a United For Colitis charity dinner,

Fletcher delivered a frank and emotive assessment of his journey back to fitness.

 

“I remember when I was first diagnosed, being very blasé about it,” Fletcher said. “Looking back now, that was quite immature, but I was a professional footballer, playing in the Premier League for Manchester United, and felt on top of the world, felt untouchable.

 

“At first my symptoms were very small it didn’t have any real impact on my life or career. It wasn’t until it came back, in 2010, that I started my real battle with ulcerative colitis, which, ultimately, I’ve had to undergo surgical procedures to be sitting here today and to continue my career.

 

“My close family and friends knew, and I didn’t hide it from the manager [sir Alex Ferguson], but nobody else knew at the club.

 

"I stayed silent, but I found it very difficult making up stories for reasons why I wasn’t at training, why I was looking ill, why I was rushing off to the bathroom. I was basically lying to people’s faces.

 

“That was very hard. At the time I thought it was for the best because I believed, with the medication I was on at that time, I would be past it in a few months.

 

"But the longer it went on, I made a decision that it wasn’t right. I wasn’t comfortable with it and I thought it would help to tell people.

 

"Once I started talking about it and made it public knowledge, it was such a relief, the best thing I did. I’ve been very fortunate in that respect. I don’t think I’ve endured too much ridicule.”

 

The debilitating effects of colitis – an uncontrollable necessity to visit the toilet – underlined the embarrassment felt by Fletcher before revealing his condition.

 

Moody, a long-term sufferer, revealed that he was forced to move house to be closer to the Leicester Tigers training ground to avoid an hour-long journey in which he would sometimes “need to visit the bathroom 10 or 11 times”.

 

However, Fletcher admitted that his public battle with the condition has become a source of pride due to the help it is giving to those facing up to the illness.

 

“It took me four weeks before I went to the doctor,” Fletcher said. “I was embarrassed about it. I was scared. It is an inflammatory bowel disease which is not easy to talk about.

 

"You can be running to the toilet anywhere between 10 and 30 times a day without much time to get there, losing a lot of blood in the process as well.

 

"At times, my blood inflammation markers were so high and I was so weak that I ended up in hospital a couple of times on an IV drip.

 

“But since my condition became known, I’ve had so many letters from mums, dads and children, about how easy it has made their lives, the fact they can go to school and, instead of having to explain ulcerative colitis, they can simply say: ‘I’ve got the same illness as Darren Fletcher.’

 

“There were no guarantees with surgery, but the surgeon was very confident I would get back to a normal life and be a good husband and a good dad. I’ve got a set routine now of how I live my life. I stick to that, it works fine and everything’s great.”

 

Having returned to the United team – Fletcher’s progress has surprised David Moyes, the manager – the midfielder insists that he has no desire to settle for simply being back on the pitch.

 

“The reception from the players in the dressing room after the Villa game, when they started singing and clapping and welcoming me back, I was mightily embarrassed,” Fletcher said.

 

“The manager also took a moment to single me out and the lads started clapping and cheering, so it was a nice moment.

 

"But I was very conscious from the beginning, when I came back, not to settle and be happy just because I was back. I didn’t want to say, ‘I have played 60 minutes, great’ or ‘I have played five-10 games this season, that’s great’.

 

“I wanted to look at it and not just say: ‘Let’s settle for just mediocrity.’ I wanted to push myself and get back to where I was and play 40 games in a season and play in cup finals when the team gets there.

 

“I didn’t want to be just happy to be back as a part of the squad because I thought that was a dangerous mind set to get into, where I would almost set myself a ceiling. It is something I have never done and I don’t see any reason why I should do that now. I would like to think I can get back to my best because there is nothing stopping

me now.”
