Last updated : 04 July 2007 By Editor

France Football publication claim new Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc has contacted Mickey to 'gauge his interest'.

Silvestre:

"I'd never say never about moving back to France, but it's not something I'm thinking about at the moment.

"I think my future is bright. I have two years left on my contract and I'm looking forward to it. There's enough room [at Old Trafford] for me to express myself next season."

Bordeaux aren't the first club to register interest in the defender. Press reports in May also linked Silvestre with Tottenham and Lyon.

Meanwhile, this from Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas speaks initially about a player from Paris St Germain:

"He is the priority for [coach] Alain Perrin. But it is difficult.

"There are other players on our list like Grosso, a champion of the world, or a player from Manchester United."
