The former Arsenal left back's contact with the European Champions runs out at the end of the season, and with the London side yet to offer the player more than a one-year extension, his future remains uncertain.

Several overseas-based clubs are said to be circling for his signature, yet talk remains that the 31-year-old could make a shock move to Old Trafford.

Cole is said to be interested in making a move to a European club, but according to an ESPN source, he is not ruling out a transfer to the Red Devils.

"Ashley is cool, relaxed about his future and his contract. He wants to stay at Chelsea, but there are no further plans for more talks.

"Everyone at the club can see the sense of offering Ashley a longer contract as he is only just over 30, but until the owner relents there is little point in having more talks.

"As for Manchester United. Why not? Ashley hasn't made up his mind about anything, but there are offers from France, Spain and Italy, so he has a wide choice.

"You would need to ask him if he fancies going abroad or would stay in England. He won't be going to Russia though.

"There is nothing Ashley has said that would preclude going to Manchester United, but it's Chelsea where he wants to stay, so it's really up to Roman Abramovich what happens next."
