Vida’s United career in doubt

Star Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic's future at the club has been thrown into fresh doubt after his sudden omission from the team that lost to Leeds on Sunday. According to reports, the Serbian international claimed to suffer a hip injury during the warm-up for the FA Cup third round tie. He then clashed with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson after refusing to take the field. "I couldn't tell you what the situation is with Nemanja. I couldn't tell you at all," was all Ferguson would say. Vidic has long been a target for Barcelona and Real Madrid as it is widely known that his wife has failed to settle in England.
