Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested there is a chance Nemanja Vidic could leave Manchester United this summer.

Vidic, 28, has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid and, following earlier claims the player's partner was keen to move to a warmer climate, recent reports have said the defender is disappointed not to have been offered a payrise this summer.

Asked if he could clear up the speculation, Ferguson said after Wednesday night's friendly with Philadephia Union: "I can't clarify it at all." Pressed further on whether Vidic would be a United player next season, he said: "I believe so."

Vidic has previously insisted he would stay at United, but there have been indications that his stance may have changed.

Ahead of the World Cup, his agent, Paolo Fabbri, said: "We are waiting for Nemanja to tell us what we he wants to do. We are waiting - as it is up to him.

"We have requested some time from United to think about things. Any eventual transfer will take place only after the World Cup finals."

The Manchester Evening News reported last week, though, that his representatives had been ordered not to make any comment.
