Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has announced he will leave the club at the end of this season after refusing to hold talks over a new deal.
David Moyes was keen to keep his club captain at Old Trafford but Vidic, who is out of contract this summer, has decided to move on after eight years in Manchester.
The Serbian won 15 trophies after arriving from Russian club Spartak Moscow for £7million in January 2006, going on to become skipper under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
In a statement, Vidic said: 'It’s the last year of my contract and I have had eight wonderful years here.
