Aly Cissokho's agent has claimed that his client is keen to seal a summer move to Manchester United.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly scouted the 24-year-old and has been impressed with his ability.

Ferguson is believed to be keen on an initial loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer and agent Ali Barat has admitted that Cissokho is desperate to see the move come off.

"Aly wants to play in the Premier League because he feels it suits his game," 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."

Cissokho joined Lyon in 2009 from FC Porto.
