Mikael Silvestre close to India switch

Former Manchester United and Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre is reportedly close to signing for Indian side Mumbai FC.

The 35-year-old, who won five Premier League titles during a nine-year spell at Old Trafford, is currently a free agent after being released by Werder Bremen over the summer.

The Frenchman is now expected to complete a move to the I-League club in the next few days, according to talkSPORT.

Silvestre joined Arsenal from United in 2008 for an undisclosed fee.
