Ronaldo key as Real Madrid confident landing £20M Man Utd defender Vidic

Real Madrid are convinced they can land Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic for £20 million in June.

The Daily Mail says having signed Cristiano Ronaldo in a world record £80million deal in June, Real now want his former Old Trafford team-mate and sources in Spain claim they will make a £20m offer for the Serbia defender at the end of the season.

Vidic's future at United has been in doubt for some time. His wife Ana is known to be keen on a move to a warmer climate and he has been linked to some of the top clubs in Europe, including AC Milan, Inter, Barcelona and Real.

United thought they had done well to keep Vidic last summer, with Sir Alex Ferguson adamant that he would not sell his central defender so soon after sanctioning the sale of Ronaldo.

The two players became close during their time together at United and it is no secret that they discussed the possibility of linking up abroad in future.
