Silvestre linked with return home
-
News reports claim French club Bordeaux are preparing a bid for Mikael Silvestre in an attempt to lure the defender back to his home country.
According to Sky Sports News, the France Football publication claim new Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc has contacted the 29-year-old to gauge his interest. Blanc played alongside Silvestre at Old Trafford between 2001 and 2003 when, together with countryman Fabien Barthez, they formed a French triumvirate and the core of United's defense.
A shoulder injury sustained in March and the impressive form of fellow left backs Patrice Evra and Gabriel Heinze limited Silvestre to just 14 league appearances in 2006/07, but the Frenchman reiterated his desire to remain a Red shortly after the season's end.
"I'd never say never about moving back to France, but it's not something I'm thinking about at the moment," Silvestre said.
"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." -
*Tsk. Speculations again. Make it concrete la!
Cheers.

Another possibility would be back to the France league and to the Mid tier clubs there like Lens.
Omg my wish/prediction is coming true! Please go back to France silvest! -

Of course I do! But I doubt he will be sold by SAF. Most probably, he we will be starved off from all the possible first team appearances till the point whereby he will tender in his transfer request.Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:
