Vidic Rumored To Be Close To Old Trafford Exit

Rumors regarding Vidic’s exit from Manchester United were fuelled when the defender was pulled out at last minute citing an injury during the weekends match against Leeds United at Old Trafford. Manchester United went on to lose the game 1-0 and now are out of the FA cup.

Ferguson had no words when asked about situation of Vidic at the end of the match. All he could say was “I couldn’t tell you what the situation is with Nemanja. I couldn’t tell you at all”

The 28 year old Serbian defender wants to move out of England because his wife is unhappy with the climate. AC Milan and Real Madrid are both chasing the defender but according to latest reports Barcelona have also joined the hunt with their ace defender Carles Puyol skeptical over contract extension.

Reports say that Vidic will be out of Old Trafford by the end of the season with Real Madrid already bidding £30 million for the Serbian stopper. Manchester United meanwhile is resigned to losing the former Spartak Moscow defender; they are looking for options with Jack Rodwell from Everton being the favorite to replace him.
