Silvestre: I'm staying with United
Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre insists that he enjoys Alex Ferguson’s full confidence and will remain at the club next season.
Silvestre has been at Old Trafford since joining from Inter Milan in 1999 but has found it hard to dislodge Patrice Evra and Gabriel Heinze this season.
But with the Argentina defender linked with a move away from the club in the summer, the France defender could come back into the first-team picture next year.
Silvestre, 29, is currently out of action with a shoulder injury but the Daily Star Sunday: “I still have two years on my contract and the manager did everything to keep me here last summer.
“He even told me recently he still has confidence in me so I can confirm that I will be in Manchester next year.”
