Nemanja Vidic's future at Manchester United is again in doubt after his agent hinted the defender could quit Old Trafford.

Vidic has been a long-term target for Spanish giants Real Madrid and his agent, Paolo Fabbri said he could not rule out a move to the Bernabeu for his client.

"We are waiting for information," Fabbri said. "We are waiting for Nemanja to tell us what he wants to do, so at the moment we are waiting as it is up to him.

"Any eventual transfer will only take place after the World Cup."

Last month Vidic insisted he was happy at Old Trafford but rumours that his wife, Ana, is unhappy in Manchester persist. United might also find it difficult to turn down a rumoured £25 million bid for the 28-year-old, who has two years remaining on his contract.

Asked whether United had offered Vidic a new deal, Fabbri said: "He is concentrating on something else so I guess it won't be until after the World Cup that he makes a decision on his future.

"We have requested some time from Manchester United to think about things, and Nemanja does not want to look at things until after the World Cup."

Although Fabbri is aware of the reported interest from Real, he insisted the Liga club have not made an official approach.

"We have not heard anything official from them and Nemanja has requested I do not speak about particular clubs while he is at the World Cup," Fabbri said.
