MILAN - Nemanja Vidic will wear the black and blue of Inter next season.

FC Internazionale is delighted to announce that negotiations to bring the Manchester United captain to the club have reached a successful conclusion.

Speaking exclusively to inter.it, president Thohir said: "Vidic is a world-class player. I'm extremely happy to have completed this deal to bring Nemanja to Milan. He's one of the world's best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree and charisma will be an asset to the team and help bring through our younger players. He will bring added value to the club and is another piece of the great Inter side we are building. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Manchester United, Nemanja and his entourage for the professional and cooperative approach they have shown throughout the negotiations."

Nemanja Vidic was born in Titovo Užice on 21 October 1981. A solid centre-back, he made his professional debut for Spartak Subotica in 2000/01, going on to make 27 appearances and score six goals in his debut season (still his personal best goals tally for a single campaign). After moving to Red Star Belgrade he racked up 67 appearances and 12 goals over three years. Then in 2004 he made the switch to Russia and Spartak Moscow, where he remained for a year and a half playing 39 times and scoring four goals. That was followed in 2005/06 by his big career move to Manchester United, where to date the Serb has made 204 Premier League appearances (his record of 35 in a single season coming in 2010/11) while netting 15 goals. Vidic has also turned out for the Red Devils 52 times in the Champions League scoring twice (including pre-qualifying rounds), made one appearance and scored one goal in the European Super Cup, played 12 games with three goals in the Europa League/UEFA Cup, and featured in two matches at the Club World Cup, scoring once. He has 56 caps and two goals at international level for Serbia-Montenegro and Serbia, having played three times at the 2010 World Cup.

Vidic's honours include a Serbian championship (2003/04), two Serbian Cups (2001/02, 2003/04), five Premier League titles (2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2010/11, 2012/13), three League Cups (2006, 2009, 2010), five Charity Shields (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013), a Champions League (2007/08) and a Club World Cup (2008).



Nice signing. It'd be nice if he were a few years younger, but a quality player on a free transfer is always welcome in my book. Hopefully he has a positive impact on Juan Jesus's development.

Welcome Nemanja!

I really liked this signing. However, I hope his contract doesn't exceed a two-year time.

I think he could be brilliant for us - he's a real leader in defense.

We need to think about squad development, though. If it's Rolando, Vidic, JJ (assuming 3 at the back) I think that's okay, but I'd like some youth there as well.

Remembering we will have Campagnaro at least, assuming out: Chivu Andreolli Ranocchia, we should fill that with 1 or 2 younger players.

All the best Captain Vida.. Was a fantastic CB and servant for ManUtd.

Hopefully he is not past it, IMO he has a year or 2 left at top level. Fantastic signing on a free transfer.

I have to say that I laughed at the quote from Thohir about Vidic helping with the development of our younger players. Does he realise who he is paying to coach the side? I'd be surprised if we still have young players next season if WM is still here

I know it's not gonna happen, but even once in pre-season I'd love to have seen Samuel-Vidic line up beside each other :proud:

Vidic jumped off of United's sinking ship and onto Mazzarri's plank of wood.

I don't think he cares. Even if he stayed at Man U, he wouldn't be playing CL next season...

Negotiations to bring the Serbian defender to the club have been successfully concluded. President Erick Thohir: "A world-class player"

I don't think Thohir uses Browha's criteria or he won't even think "will he get into world 11" silly debates that goes on forums.

Took me a while to see what this was. I spent a good 20 seconds wondering why anyone would post those 3 words in that order.
