Agent: 'Nemanja Vidic not joining Juventus'

The agent of Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has distanced his client from speculation linking him with a move to Juventus this summer.

Reports had claimed that the Serbian defender, who is currently nursing a cruciate ligament injury, had decided to join the Old Lady.

However, agent Silvano Martina has described a potential transfer to Juve as "difficult".

"Vidic is still out with a cruciate ligament injury," Martina told tuttomercatoweb.com. "A future in Italy? You have to consider that he has a non-EU passport and that would make it difficult for him to arrive in Serie A.

"I can assure you that I have never spoken with Juventus about Nemanja."

Vidic is expected to return from injury in July.
