Vidic loving Manchester life, despite grim reports

MANCHESTER UNITED defender Nemanja Vidic insists he is enjoying his stay at Old Trafford and life in the north-west after reportedly slamming the city and the way of life there.

The Serbian had been quoted as being critical of Manchester as a city, the climate, and of the English culture which he reportedly claimed left no time for savouring “the joy of life”.

Vidic, who has established himself as a key member of Alex Ferguson’s side since arriving from Spartak Moscow in January 2006, was quoted as saying he does not have plans to stay long-term in England and would relish the chance to test himself in Spain.
