Does Vidic’s Absence Mean He’s Leaving? No, no, no, no…

No reason was given at first for Nemanja Vidic's absence from the group of players travelling to Kuala Lumpur for the pre-season tour today, leading to whispers that he could be leaving.

Antonio Valencia, Federico Macheda, Fabio da Silva and Danny Welbeck will also miss out.

It is believed that an ankle injury has lead to Vidic being ruled out and his agent, Paulo Fabbri, insists our defender is not moving clubs.
