Why Vidic chose to leave Man Utd...

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic was prepared to stay at Old Trafford - if they had offered him a two-year contract.

The People says Vidic decided to leave Manchester United because they only offered him a one year contract - not the two year deal he asked for.

There were concerns about the 31-year-old defender's reliability, with him showing signs of wear and tear after eight years in the Premier League, and that made the Old Trafford giants reluctant to offer him more than one more year.
