Losing Vidic a Real fear
Wednesday November 25 2009
ALEX Ferguson fears that he will lose Nemanja Vidic next summer. Barcelona and Real Madrid want to take Vidic to Spain while the Serbia defender is also being tracked by AC Milan in Italy.
Ferguson will try to talk Vidic out of leaving, but he is understood to be genuinely concerned that the player may have had his head turned by the idea of a move to the continent and is unsure that even the offer of a lucrative new contract would be enough to persuade the 27-year-old to stay.
Vidic denied reports in August that his wife, Ana, is unhappy in Manchester amid speculation about his future, but it is thought that the wishes of his family will have a bearing on any decision.
Asked if he might see out his career at Old Trafford, Vidic said: "You never know what is going to happen. I can't say what is going to happen in one year, two years' time. (© The Times, London)
