PFA Players’ Player of the Year nominee Nemanja Vidic will not bow to family pressure and follow Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez out of Old Trafford.

The Manchester United defender had a fantastic season as the Red Devils reclaimed their league title, and he intends to carry on where he left off.

But Vidic revealed: “My wife Ana is unhappy with our lifestyle in Manchester but I am not going to change my mind as I am happy with the team and Manchester and the club's ambition for next season.

"I got offers from Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid and I played a very honest game - I disclosed all these offers to my boss Sir Alex.

"He reacted quickly. I was told he was raising my pay to bring it to the level where my reputation is in the Premier League and Europe.

"After Milan and Real Madrid made their offers Barcelona came in - they wanted to pay £30 million for my services but after Sir Alex's move, I am definitely staying in Manchester until my contract expires in 2012.”
