Nemanja Vidic will leave Manchester United at the end of the season. The United captain says he wants to challenge himself again - Inter Milan are the favourites to sign the 32-year-old Serbian. Vidic has spent 8 years at Old Trafford - in that time he's won five Premier League titles, the Champions League and three League Cups. The decision of Vidic, who with Rio Ferdinand formed one the best central defensive partnerships of the Premier League era, signals what may be the first of an exodus of senior players at the close of David Moyes's first season in charge. The futures of Ferdinand and Patrice Evra are also in the balance.
In a statement he said: "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. I never could have imagined winning 15 trophies and I will certainly never forget that fantastic night in Moscow [winning the Champions League], 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."
