The former Serbia international has hung up his boots after a 16-year
professional career, having failed to appear for Inter this season due
to hernia and back injuries
Former Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has announced his retirement after being released by Inter.
The
Serbian centre-back, who started his career at Red Star Belgrade, spent
eight years at Old Trafford, winning five Premier League titles, 3
League Cups and the Champions League under Sir Alex Ferguson, but
departed for the Italian club in 2014.
Vidic made only 28
appearances for the Serie A side, however, and failed to make a single
appearance in 2015-16, with hernia and back injuries leading to his
contract being rescinded last week.
The
former United captain has now issued a statement confirming his
retirement, calling time on a professional career that has spanned 16
years.
In a statement released via the United website, Vidic
said: "The time has come for me to hang up my boots. The injuries I have
had in the last few years have taken their toll.
