Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra is expected to follow Nemanja Vidic out of Manchester United.

The Daily Mail says Vidic is leaving United after eight years and it looks almost certain that 35-year-old Ferdinand, his partner in central defence for much of that time, will be released at the end of his contract.

Evra is also expected to announce he is leaving at the end of the season, following claims in France that he wants to return home for family reasons.
