RIBERY DECISION SOON

Last updated : 07 June 2006 By Ed

United target Franck Ribery will make up his mind as to where he will play next season after France's game against China tonight.

"Franck and myself, we give ourselves until tonight to make a decision," stated Ribery's agent Bruno Heiderscheid.

"He will talk after the match to say what he wants to do.

"He set that date because Les Bleus leave for Germany on Thursday and so it is time to end the uncertainty.

"On a personal level, I favour Franck staying at Marseille next season. But there is still the need to have talks.

"[Lyon president] Jean-Michel Aulas is more thoughtful than [Marseille president] Pape Diouf towards Franck.

"If the contact is not taken up again, it is possible Franck will make an unquestioned decision to leave."
