David Moyes wants Nemanja Vidic to sign new deal

Nemanja Vidic

Manchester United manager David Moyes has said that he wants defender Nemanja Vidic to sign a new deal at the club and also praised the player as the best defender he has ever worked with.

With the Serbian’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, Moyes added that he expects the club to resolve Vidic’s long-term future.

“I didn’t know about Vida’s contract. I have not looked into it yet. I am sure the chief executive and the club will be doing that. He’s not old. He is a really top centre half. The best I have worked with, that’s for sure,” he said.

Moyes also admitted his fear of losing Adnan Januzaj after rivals Manchester City expressed their interest in the youngster.

“We really think an awful lot of Adnan. He is a Manchester United player. We think this is the best place for producing and giving youngsters an opportunity. We think we do it better than anybody,” Moyes said.

“It is what we want. It is part of my remit to promote young players and Adnan has been promoted already and the next part is to become a regular first-team player. He is keen to stay, but he has some influences round him,” he added.
