Manchester United captain, Nemanja Vidic has confirmed he will be leaving the Theatre of Dreams at the end of the 2013/14 season. The Serbian issued a statement to ManUtd.com, saying: “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, 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."
Manchester United manager, David Moyes confirmed that the decision was by mutual consent and that Vidic would remain the club captain until the end of the season. "It was something we mutually agreed together, me and Nemanja. I think it was the right decision for both the club and the player.
The United boss also praised Vidic for being a "brilliant servant and captain" for the club and enjoined him to continue the good performance until his time at Old Trafford elapses.
