Vidic to United in January?

By Football Italia staff

Nemanja Vidic is being linked with a shock return to Manchester United, as speculation is he may assess his Inter future under Roberto Mancini.

The Serbian international has struggled for fitness and to find space with the Nerazzurri since the Coach’s return to the club last month, with Andrea Ranocchia and Juan Jesus the regular starters so far.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Vidic is bound to sit out the next game – in which he was expected to feature – because of flu.

The paper report that whilst it is not the situation currently, the player is set to evaluate the possibility of an early exit from San Siro should he get to mid-January without further minutes under his belt.

Further reports indicate that the 33-year-old may already have mid-season interest from previous club Manchester United.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, indirect contacts have already begun from the English club to re-acquire the central defender.

Facing a number of injury problems in the Old Trafford defence this season, current manager Louis van Gaal is reportedly keen on Vidic’s return for the experience he can offer.

Vidic agreed to joined Inter from United last January, moving in July on a free transfer at the expiry of his contract.
