Inter Milan announced on Tuesday they had cancelled the contract of former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic, who had yet to make an appearance this season.

Vidic missed the first half of the campaign after undergoing a hernia operation in August, with the ex-Serbia international now a free agent.

The 34-year-old joined Inter on a free transfer from United in 2014 and played 28 times for the Serie A club last season.

“I would like to thank the Nerazzuri family and the Inter fans. I would like to wish the club the greatest success in the future,” Vidic said in a message on the club’s website.

Vidic won five Premier League titles in eight and a half years at Old Trafford, as well as the 2007-08 Champions League.

Vidic is reportedly weighing up offers from the U.S. ahead of the start of the MLS season in March, but he has not yet made any comment about his next move.
