The 29-year-old Serbia defender has been linked with a move away from England – Juventus the latest club reportedly interested – despite being a key part of Sir Alex Ferguson’s side and having three years left on his contract.

However, his agent Silvano Martina has rejected any talk of a summer exit from the Premier League champions.

He said: “He’s a player that everyone wants. I talked to him about a hypothetical transfer and he replied, ‘I am the captain of Manchester United, earning well, I’ve won almost everything... Why should I go to Italy right now, when Italian football is going through a turbulent period?’

“This response removes any doubt about where his future lies – he stays where he is.”

Vidic joined United from Spartak Moscow in January 2006 and signed a fresh four-year contract last August. He lifted the Barclays Premier League trophy last month– an English record 19th league title for the club – and led the Red Devils to the Champions League final.
