Manchester United are ready to sell defender Nemanja Vidic this summer.

The Guardian says Vidic, who is preparing for Serbia's opening Group D match against Ghana on Sunday, has two years to go on his contract, the point at which United usually open talks about a new deal with players they want to keep.

Wayne Rooney, for instance, has been assured that talks will begin about a £150,000-a-week offer after the World Cup.

Vidic, however, has received no such guarantees, with United reluctantly accepting they may have to choose between getting up to £30m for him now or risk losing him as a free agent in two years.
