Former Manchester United fullback Mike Duxbury can't see Inter Milandefender Nemanja Vidic returning to Old Trafford.
Vidic has been linked with a loan return to United for January.
But Duxbury told Calciomercato.com: "There are no more leaders in the defence of United, probably the last one was really him.
"But, despite the rumours that he would be ready to go back, I think that his return would not work here."
Vidic has been dropped for games by Inter coach Roberto Mancini in recent weeks.
