Evra Says Vidic “Will be sorely missed”

Manchester United have seen the last of Nemanja Vidic after the defender played his final match for the club in the 1-1 draw against Southampton. Since joining the club in 2006, he has been excellent and has led the club to numerous titles. Currently, he is the captain of the team. However, United decided not to renew his contract and Vidic signed on a free transfer with Inter Milan. Still at the peak of his career, Vidic will be sorely missed at United next season according to defender Patrice Evra.

The French left back himself appears to be at the end of his United career, as the club have not shown any intend to extend his contract runs out in a few weeks. Evra joined United along with Vidic during the January transfer window of 2006. His performances this campaign have reached a new low and it is becoming clear that the 32-year-old may have to look at pastures new in the summer. United are close to sealing the deal for Southampton defender Luke Shaw for around £ 25 million. The 18-year-old is seen as the future of United.

For now, Evra has stated that he is extremely unhappy with the way the club are losing out on Vidic, who still has several years left in him.

“It’s painful to lose Vida. For me, he is a great centre-back. When you see a player like Vidic leaving the club, you feel really sad. When you speak about Vida, it’s like you’re speaking about myself. We joined the club together. I remember the first game was so hard. In one match, we played in the reserves together. We were so poor! I’m really sad to lose him. It was a difficult moment but we stuck together,” said the French left back, who has been linked with PSG.
