Man Utd target Vidal set to stay with Juventus

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that Arturo Vidal will not be joining Manchester United this summer. The Chile international midfielder has been linked with Old Trafford, with new boss Louis van Gaal himself admitting to being a fan of the 27-year-old.

"He's a fundamental player for Juve and he will stay with us," Allegri said in a press conference.

"He feels good and is training.

"His knee must be managed and he will start as a regular."

On the eve of the opening round of Serie A fixtures, Vidal has tweeted a message to his fans, and seems focused on helping Juve retain the Scudetto.

"Ready to start the Championship!" Vidal said.
