Vidic rebuffs talk he wants to leave United

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic wants to stay at the English champions next season and has never fallen out with manager Alex Ferguson, the Serbia international said.

Vidic has not played for United this year due to a niggling calf injury but some newspapers in England and Serbia suggested he had fallen out with Ferguson ahead of United's FA Cup tie with Leeds in January.

"I have never had a conflict of any kind with Sir Alex Ferguson and on-going speculation that I want to leave United is completely untrue," Vidic told Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti.

"I have a contract until the summer of 2012 and I have every intention of seeing it through to the very last day.

"United have made me the player I am today and there is no substance whatsoever in rumours that I have been looking for a move away to either Real Madrid or Milan."

Vidic missed their 3-2 win at Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday but hopes to be fit for the return leg at Old Trafford on March 10.

"I can't wait to get back on the pitch and although I've had a long lay-off, I feel strong and fit again," he said.

"We got a great result at Milan but we have to raise our game for the return leg and I am sure we can."
