Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra faces Manchester United exit!

Three of Manchester United’s title-winning back four are likely to be victims of a David Moyes purge at Old Trafford.

The champions are in crisis after losing their third game in a week at Sunderland on Tuesday night and Moyes wants to unload several unwanted and unhappy players in an attempt to turn around the club’s fortunes in the summer.

Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra could all leave with Javier Hernandez, Nani, Anderson, Alex Buttner and Anders Lindegaard likely to join them.

There is also continuing anxiety about Wayne Rooney’s refusal to sign a new contract and Robin van Persie’s lack of form under the new manager.

United are on their worst run of form since 1992 and Moyes’ bad week was compounded when the FA confirmed they were investigating his comments about referees after the Sunderland game.
