Manchester United telah berakhir ketidakpastian masa depan Nemanja Vidic sekitarnya oleh mencapai kesepakatan dengan Serbia antarabangsa atas perpanjangan kontrak yang menguntungkan. Sebagai kesepakatan belum unsigned diharapkan untuk menjaga 28 tahun di Old Trafford sehingga tahun 2014 dan akan bernilai sekitar £ 90,000 seminggu.
Vidic masa depan di Amerika telah berada di bawah awan selama beberapa bulan dan pada bulan Jun agen pemain, Paolo Fabbri, mendakwa pembela akan mempertimbangkan pilihan-Nya setelah Piala Dunia. Real Madrid dan beberapa kelab Itali telah dikaitkan dengan bek tengah memerintah, menandatangani £ 7m dari Spartak Moscow pada tahun 2006, walaupun perasaan dalam Old Trafford adalah bahawa ia memancing untuk mengangkat Vidic menjadi antara yang berpendapatan tertinggi di kelab.
Bahwa sekarang akan berlaku selepas legalitas kontrak baru Vidic adalah selesai. chief executive United, David Gill, yang mengaku media bertanggung jawab atas ketidakpastian dan bahawa cerita "tidak keluar dari" kem Nemanja's, yakin kesepakatan itu akan ditandatangani sebelum bermulanya musim baru Liga Premier.
Gill berkata: "Kami duduk dengan Nemanja dan penasihat di akhir musim lalu dan mula perbincangan Mereka putus ketika Nemanja pergi ke Piala Dunia,. Tapi kembali ketika Serbia tersingkir dan saya sangat senang untuk mengesahkan bahawa kami sepakat berdamai dengan Nemanja tiga atau empat minggu lalu pada sebuah kesepakatan jangka panjang baru dengan kelab.
It's yet to be signed – the paperwork is now being sorted by our lawyers and being checked by Nemanja's advisers. He's still away on holiday but the plan is that when he gets back the papers will be signed. We've shaken hands on it and we're confident it will all be signed and sealed in early August."
Vidic's commitment to Old Trafford will come as a major relief to Sir Alex Ferguson, who conceded this week that he was awaiting clarification on the player's future and could ill afford to lose the experienced defender at a time when Rio Ferdinand is recovering from a serious knee injury. Vidic was given a 28-day holiday by United after the World Cup and is scheduled to make his first appearance of pre-season in Dublin on 4 August. His present contract, worth £70,000 a week, is due to expire in 2012.
Ferguson has already strengthened his central defence this summer with the £12m acquisition of Chris Smalling, who had agreed to the move from Fulham in January. The 20-year-old had made only 11 appearances for Fulham when both United and Arsenal bid for his services in January, a total of 19 before he officially moved to Old Trafford on 1 July, and, three years after his pre-season involved playing for Maidstone United while awaiting his A-level results, Smalling admits the transformation is hard to reconcile.
"It is beginning to sink in after games," said the defender, who has appeared in United's two pre-seasonfriendlies against Celtic and Philadelphia Union. "At the minute I'm just playing how I normally do and I don't feel too much pressure. I'm just enjoying being at a club like this and learning from the players around me."
