Vidic coy over Man Utd stay if he'd known Moyes was leaving

Nemanja Vidic is coy over questions about staying with Manchester United if he'd known sooner David Moyes would be leaving. Vidic committed to a pre-contract with Inter Milan several weeks before Moyes was sacked.

"It is not an easy question to answer," Vidic told the Telegraph

So that is a 'yes,' then?

"It is not a yes," Vidic replied. "I am trying to answer it properly. Sometimes you don't make a decision instantly, especially one like this. You have to think about it. Is it the right thing to do? Sometimes there are many reasons.

"If I am going to do something, I ask myself why. If there are more than two reasons to do it, I think it is time to change. Sometimes these decisions you make are because of certain circumstances. You don't make a decision like that all of a sudden. I know you would like me to say the exact thing but I cannot. The best way for me to say it is that sometimes you make decisions because of circumstances.

"I have to say, it is not easy to say certain things. You have a responsibility for what you are and who you represent. I have been with this club for so many years and I have been the captain for the last few. Even in a family, if you have issues and conversations, sometimes they have to stay within the family.

"At the end of the day, if you have an issue with someone, especially when you care and you have had so many great times, you do it in a way that is suitable to the club. It has happened that way."
