Ashley Cole plans Manchester United talks?

Chelsea defender Ashley Cole will reportedly seek summer talks with Manchester United as he considers a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Cole is thought to have been offered a one-year extension by the Blues but is unconvinced that Chelsea want to keep him.

United have been linked with moves for Cole and Frank Lampard in the last fortnight and the left-back is keen to keep his options open and speak to Sir Alex Ferguson, according to The People.

The England international can talk to clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement this month, with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid also heavily linked with a move for the 32-year-old.
