Nemanja Vidic has stressed his commitment to Manchester United and rejected rumours he is set to join Real Madrid this summer.

There has been growing speculation that Vidic could leave for Spain at the end of the season and Sir Alex Ferguson did little to dampen the speculation this week when he said: "A lot of clubs want to buy our players and we have to deal with that situation."

However, Vidic has completely rejected any suggestion he has made contact with any other clubs and insists he fully intends to see out his contract at Old Trafford.

"I repeat for the hundredth time: I have a contract with Manchester United until the summer of 2012 and I want to stay at Old Trafford until the last day," he told Vecernje Novosti. "The rest of the stories are without basis.

"I have made a career in Manchester and I respect that fully. No one has contacted me and I have not spoken to anyone."

Vidic has not featured for United since December but he believes he has now overcome his problems and is ready to return to action.

"I am healthy," he said. "I feel strong and I believe I can return in full."
