The agent of Lyon defender Aly Cissokho has revealed that his client is very interested in joining Manchester United in the summer.
The highly rated full-back is widely tipped to leave Lyon at the end of the season, with a number of high-profile clubs chasing his signature.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson sees the 24-year-old as a perfect replacement for Patrice Evra and the player’s agent now reveals that Old Trafford is his client’s preferred destination.
“Aly wants to play in the Premier League because he feels it suits his game,” representative Ali Barat told talkSPORT.
“He has already turned down interest from AC Milan and Juventus because he wants to move to the Premier League and his preferred destination would be Manchester United.”
The French international made a name for himself at Porto and he moved to Lyon in the summer of 2009, shortly after his move to AC Milan failed through because of an unsuccessful medical.
The player has since become disillusioned with life at Gerland and has voiced his desire to leave the club on numerous occasions.
Cissokho was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool last summer, but it looks that he could now join their arch rivals instead.
