Speculation heightens for Nemanja Vidic's Man United exit as he misses pre-season tour
MANCHESTER UNITED defender Nemanja Vidic has raised the spectre of an Old Trafford exit this summer after he was a surprise absentee for their pre-season tour.
Vidic's future has been the subject of heightened speculation, with the 31-year-old Serbian tipped to join AC Milan this transfer window.
Furthermore, United have been stepping up their search for a defender and have been linked with Inter Milan's Andrea Ranocchia and Benfica's Ezequiel Garay.
However, fears have arisen about his future as he will miss their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia.
The club have yet to give an explanation confirming why this is the case.
Robin van Persie and David De Gea will miss Saturday's opener in Bangkok after being given extra time off.
Meanwhile, Chris Smalling (foot), Ashley Young (ankle) and Nani (broken nose) are also absentees.
