Manchester United resigned to losing Nemanja Vidic, target Simon Kjaer & Jack Rodwell - report
30 Dec 2009 09:35:18
Manchester United are readying themselves for the summer departure of defender Nemanja Vidic by targeting Everton youngster Jack Rodwell and Palermo's Danish international Simon Kjaer, according to a report from The Times.
Real Madrid are apparently confident of landing Vidic for £30 million at the end of the season, with United reportedly resigned to the fact that the Serb will leave.
Vidic's Old Trafford contract expires in 2012 and, although they may offer him a new one at the end of the season, they will not allow his current deal to run down without cashing in on him.
The 28-year-old's wife has been rumoured to be unhappy in England and wants to move to southern Europe. AC Milan and Barcelona are also reported to be interested.
Rodwell, a versatile England Under-21 international at home in midfield or the back-four, and Kjaer, are said to be the players Sir Alex Ferguson has identified as possible successors to Vidic at United.
Bruno Alves of Porto is also piquing Ferguson's interest, according to The Times.
