Nemanja Vidic is certainly unhappy with life in Manchester as he hinted to a future move to the Spanish Primera Liga.

The Serbian expressed his frustration with weather conditions in Manchester, where he spent the past couple of season after joining from Spartak Moscow in 2006.

"I will never stay to live in England, that's for sure. You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it's all cloudy again," Vidic told Russian magazine Football Weekly.

"The winters are mild, but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20 degrees. And it rains, rains, rains.

"In future, I would like to test myself in another top league. I'm thinking of Spain. At least there will be no reason to complain about the weather.

The 26-year-old has also lamented the dull lifestyle in England, as he believes that settling in Russia was much easier.

No time for joy

"It's not only the weather that I'm not happy about here. In Russia and Serbia the people's way of life is similar. In England it's totally different. Here they just don't have time to feel the joy of life," he added.

"Throughout the week they all work so hard. They only talk to people at lunch break. Then in the evening they come home and watch the telly, so they can get up early for work the next day.

"The only time to meet friends is at weekends, but for football players it's the busiest time of all.

"It was much easier for me to adapt to Russia than England. In England I had no-one to talk to.

"The first month was especially hard. I lived alone in a hotel, which I left only for training. I thought I would go crazy inside those four walls."

Despite his off-field discomfort, Vidic established himself to become one of the pillars of United's defense since his arrival.
