Duo going nowhere

Berba and Vidic vow to United

Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov and Nemanja Vidic will NOT be leaving during the summer – according to their agents. The men representing defender Vidic and striker Berbatov have both poured cold water on rumours linking them with moves away from Old Trafford. Paolo Fabbri, who handles the affairs of Serbian international Vidic, said that Vidic would not go unless he was the subject of a “crazy offer”. Vidic has been linked with a £25m move to Barcelona or AC Milan but Fabbri said: “I don’t think we will have any surprises in the short-term – we are not planning to move." Berbatov’s agent Emil Dantchev said that the Bulgarian will also be a United player next season. There has been speculation he may be sold but his agent insisted: “Despite speculation that he may leave I want to declare that Dimitar will play for Manchester United next season. There is no desire from the management for any separation. He will stay and we hope he will win what he missed out on this year.”

Having missed the start of last season as he recovered from ankle surgery, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly keen to have surgery on a hernia post-haste. The Times claims the winger aggravated a groin injury on international duty, and will go under the knife so as only to miss the start of pre-season training.

The Sun claims United skipper Gary Neville could be in line for a first international start in over two years on Wednesday. With first-choice Glen Johnson one booking away from a suspension, Neville may be selected for England's clash with Andorra at Wembley.
