"Man Utd" in focus - "Chelsea" star Cole? © EuroFootball.com

Interested in London's defender Ashley Cole, the British press announces.

According to the report, coach Sir Alex Ferguson wants to acquire a new left-back defender by autumn, as the only player left in the team in the nominal position is Patrice Evra. The main contender to fill the gap for a long time was Leighton Baines from Liverpool's Everton, but the 'Red Devils' are not willing to pay the requested 19 million euros compensation.

Therefore, the 31-year-old Cole has caught the eye of the strategist, as Chelsea has not yet offered to extend his contract, which will expire next year.

The player from the England national team does not intend to rush and does not rule out the possibility that he will become a free agent next summer.
