Vidic a shock target for Anzhi

Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic has emerged as a shock transfer target for cash-rich Anzhi Makhachkala.

The Russian side have stunned the football world by signing Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o from Inter Milan and Yury Zhirkov from Chelsea this summer, with the former earning a whopping £300,000 a week.
And according to The Sun newspaper, they have now turned their attention on defence, where they see Vidic as the ideal man to lead their backline.
A bid for the Serbian centre-back is believed to be imminent as Anzhi are set to test Sir Alex Ferguson's resolve in keeping his skipper.
The club, controlled by Russian billionaire Suleyman Kerimou, who has an estimated personal fortune of £5billion, are expected to go all out to prise the 29-year-old from Old Trafford.
Vidic was signed from Spartak Moscow for just £7million back in 2006 and has been an integral part of the Red Devils.
But it remains to be seen if he would be able to resist a mega salary package expected to be tabled by Anzhi.
