Samir Nasri Unlikely To Join Manchester United

Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that Frenchman Samir Nasri has agreed to leave Arsenal, but it is highly unlikely that he will be joining Manchester United.

The 24 year old has been linked with a move to Old Trafford and United reportedly had a £20m bid rejected.

"I don't think he is coming to United," said manager Ferguson, speaking at the start of his side's United States tour.

"That is all I can tell you. I think he has agreed to go somewhere else."

Arsene Wenger may keep Nasri for the final year of his contract, which would allow him to leave for free next summer and of that Sir Alex said, "That is his decision," said Ferguson, when asked what he thought of Wenger's stance. "He is the manager.

"If he stands by that decision, it is a brave one. I don't know if the [Arsenal] directors will enjoy that one but it is possible. Maybe he will have to stay."
