Mikael Silvestre has admitted he would be tempted by a move to Bordeaux - the club of his 'heart' - in the summer.
Silvestre, 30 is out of contract at the end of the season and weighing up his options - which include a return to France with Bordeaux where his former Old Trafford team-mate Laurent Blanc is the coach.
Blanc has spoken to Silvestre about making a return to the area where he grew up and following the team as a boy.
Silvestre said: "It is not impossible - Bordeaux, it's the club of my heart. When I was small, I followed their exploits in Europe. Moreover I have got family in the [area] Gironde."
But Silvestre, who reportedly earns £35,000-a-week at United, does not want to sell himself short and expects Bordeaux to meet his financial demands if he is to return to Ligue 1.
