Manchester City says Patrick Vieira will stay at the English Premier League club next season after taking up a one-year contract extension.

The 33-year-old French midfielder joined City on an initial six-month deal in January after spending nearly four years at Inter Milan.

He played 14 times for City as it finished fifth and missed out on a place in next season's Champions League.

Vieira, who won the Premier League three times with Arsenal, was left out of France's squad for this month's World Cup finals in South Africa.
