EPL - Vidic inks new deal

Nemanja Vidic has signed a four-year contract extension to stay with Manchester United.

The announcement puts an end to the intense debate surrounding the Serbian for over 18 months, with his future seemingly destined to be away from Old Trafford. Sir Alex Ferguson glad to have Vidic around until 2014.

Vidic arrived from Spartak Moscow in a £7.2million deal on Christmas Day 2005. Famed for his strength and no-nonsense approach to keeping forwards at bay, Vidic was a central figure in each of United's three successive title wins and their Champions League triumph over Chelsea in 2008.

With Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville missing and Ryan Giggs starting on the substitutes' bench, Vidic has skippered United this term and led the Old Trafford outfit to their Community Shield triumph over Chelsea at Wembley earlier this month.
