Gossip: Russian billionaires target Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic

Nemanja Vidic

Nemanja Vidic has been linked witha shock move to big-spending Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala.

Anzhi signed Samuel Eto'o for 20m on wages reported to be in excess of 300,000 per week and are now keen to land a central defender, report the Sun.

And they are primed to make a move for 29-year-old Serbian Vidic.

The Reds have a wealth of centre-backs, with youngsters Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones competing with experienced duo Rio Ferdinand and Vidic.

However, it seems unlikely Sir Alex Ferguson would part with Vidic, normally top of the defensive pecking order when fit.

Vidic cost 7m from Spartak Moscow in 2006.

Should United consider selling Vidic? Have your say.
