Manchester United winger Nani is the latest high-profile star to be omitted from an official 2013 calendar - fuelling rumours he could be out the Old Trafford exit door in the New Year.

Mirror Sport exclusively revealed last week how Theo Walcott’s exclusion from Arsenal’s calendar sparked speculation he could leave the club, having failed to sort out a new deal.

And now Nani, who is likely to be out of action until the transfer window opens, is missing from United’s calendar for next year.

The Portuguese winger has featured in the past three seasons but has been left out this time amid continued doubts over his Old Trafford future.

Nani reportedly had a bust-up with promising United midfielder Davide Petrucci earlier this season and has not played since he was hauled off during their Champions League match at Braga at the start of the month.

And the decision to scrap him from the new official calendar has sparked fears among fans he could leave, with no sign of a deal regarding a proposed new contract.

The 26-year-old has two years left on his existing deal and is reported to be holding out for around £130,000-a-week.

United seem reluctant to go that far and the likes of Zenit St. Petersburg and Paris St. Germain are watching developments closely.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s interest in the likes of Porto star James Rodriguez, as well as Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha, suggests he is planning for life without Nani.

And Mirror Sport understands United are in pole position to land Zaha having made contact with Palace and proposing the England starlet remains at Selhurst Park for the season before moving to Old Trafford in the summer.

Meanwhile, Jonny Evans says United must tighten up or risk another derby day mauling at the hands of title rivals City.

The Manchester United legend is due for talks with chairman Andy Pilley after Micky Mellon’s sacking. Ex-Hull boss Phil Brown and Blackpool No.2 Steve Thompson are also contenders.
