So would I, undoubtedly. To be honest, I don't get the impression that our transfer budget is affected much by sales anyway. It seems like there's a certain reasonable but not massive amount there for Fergie to spend whatever - it's not like selling Ronaldo for £80m led to a splurge of silly money on players.
I would rather let him go on free after 2 years than sell him right now.

Vidic to miss Benfica clash as United opt against two-match UEFA ban appeal
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic will miss next week's Champions League visit of Benfica after the club decided against a decision to appeal the defender's two-match ban.
Vidic was dismissed in United's 2-0 win over Romanian outfit Otelu Galati last month after a late foul on striker Gabriel Giurgiu.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson thought the red card was 'very harsh' at the time before admitting German referee Wolfgang Stark had a different interpretation of the tackle.
He said: 'I can understand the referee’s interpretation because German football is different to England.'
The Serbian has already served part of his suspension, missing the recent return fixture at Old Trafford.
His absence could cause United a problem, however, if they pick up any injuries at Swansea this weekend.
Chris Smalling is already sidelined leaving Rio Ferdinand, Jonny Evans and Phil Jones as Ferguson's remaining defensive options in a game that would see last season's finalists United secure qualification to the knockout stages should they beat the Portuguese outfit.

Nothing new but this man is vital for our defensive solidity.
One man defense, ours is a one man defense.
Love Vida but, a more consistent backline is probably more important for our defensive solidity than even just him.
We miss vidic so badly.
Best defender in the world along with Silva.
What rubbish. Nice play and everything that resulted in an OG but the defense was fine. One of the rare games were both full backs were very very good.
Get well soon, buddy.
Terrible injury, without him our season is fecked. Simple as.
Out for the season according to the, frankly startling amount of Doctors in the match day thread.
We have a good group of cb's but any team would sorely miss the best defender in world football, I pray his injury isn't a serious as it looked.
Similar to the way Owen got injured in the World Cup 2006.
Oh god, anyone but him (or Rooney or Nani).
Looks like an acl or mcl. If its both even worse. It dies nit look good his reaction says it all. The awkward angle he got his knee into.
Bad news. He's judging from the replays out for rest of the season.
Our season just got a whole lot gloomier. Now we need to buy a defender. We've got Evans, Jones, Smalling, Evra, semi-Rio and two twins that count as one player left.
So what? Why not wait and see?
His reaction at first worried me but I think he'll be out for a month or so, likely to be a twist.
We have an alright group. But due to the twins being made of glass Jones and Smalling haven't had much time there. Rio is good, but he is always prone to injuries.
Vidic is a insanely big part of our defense, we've had as many clean sheets with him in defense as without this season and Vidic has been out for a big part. I fear for us if we're to be without him tbh, unless we get back to being as free scoring as previously this season.
It's amazing how caftards can diagnose an injury from their homes.
It could be nothing. Hopefully. Maybe fraustration for getting injured again
No. It's his ucl. Probably out for six to eight month.
I think his career might be over. Will be lucky to be able to run at full speed again.
Go back to the zoo you belong
He might die if they don't take him to hospital in time I am hearing.
Knee aids?
Could be anything to be honest, hopefully it's not too bad.
Why?
I'm realistic and the replays showed a very nasty injury. And by the way I feel the same as the rest. Catastrophe.
I reckon we need to amputate, it's looking that serious from my couch.
Certainly MCL, sadly it'll probably be an ACL too.
6-8 weeks minimum, more likely 6-9 months.

what the feck happend ? just came from work 
ucl isn't in the knee, is it?
Huge loss, doesn't take a doctor to see that is at least 3 months out probably a lot more.
If we had a decent central midfielder, Jones would have been able to step back and play there but we don't do we have liability Evans, I hope they haven't been watching him because if they have expect a lot of high balls into our box.

Ball came up to the half way line, attacker tried to shepherd the ball with his back to the goal, vidic tried to wrap his foot around and his knee buckled.what the feck happend ? just came from work
Can we rule out 6-10 years?
Just had a search on WebMD, and I'm not liking what I'm seeing. Sadly, this may be the end of Vidic.
Let's be realistic, he'll never walk again...
How about we wait for the prognosis before jumping to conclusions?
