Shocker: Man Utd to sell Vidic to Real

It is news that will rock Manchester United and the footballing world, but according to a report in the Daily Mail today, Sir Alex Ferguson is preparing to sell Nemanja Vidic to Real Madrid.

According to the report (https://bit.ly/uikMZL) Ferguson will consider selling Vidic next summer if his old friend Real coach Jose Mourinho comes up with enough money to enable United to buy a replacement.

Mourinho wants Vidic as he looks to build a team that can wrest the Champions League crown from rivals Barcelona.

Ferguson will not let the club captain go in the forthcoming January transfer window, but will wait until summer.

However, the Old Trafford faithful will not be happy at the sight of Vidic going, especially at a time when young defenders such as Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are still breaking in, and others like Jonny Evans are clearly not up to the mark.

Ferguson and Vidic have time again not seen eye to eye and two years ago, the Serb seemed on his way out.

Ferguson then signed him a new contract early last season.

That deal will have only two years left at the end of the season.

There are also rumours about his wife being unhappy in England.

Will Vidic join the United star scrap heap of Jaap Stam, David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy?
