Vidic's United future in doubt after mystery injury withdrawal

Nemanja Vidic's Manchester United future is also in doubt after he enraged Sir Alex Ferguson by refusing to play against Leeds yesterday after complaining of suffering an injury in the warm-up.

Vidic, a target for Barcelona and Real Madrid, is unsettled at United and Fergie was clearly angered by the defender's decision to pull out at such a late stage.

"I couldn't tell you what the situation is with Nemanja," said Fergie. "I couldn't tell you at all."

United assistant boss Mike Phelan said: "Nemanja did the warm-up and said he felt something wasn't right with his body.

"He told the manager and myself, and we made the decision to change the team."
