Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic says Wayne Rooney is the best striker in the world but that he can’t wait to face the England player at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa this summer.

There is, as the old cliché goes, no smoke without fire. So it is no without surprise that yet another Nemanja Vidic exit story appeared in today’s press.

Nemanja Vidic will leave Manchester United this summer and head for the continent in a £20 million deal, according to the club’s own players, the Guardian reports.
