Manchester Untied manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he's been in talks with Jon Obi Mikel and FC Lyn regarding the Nigerian's move to Old Trafford.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has reiterated his intentions to stay at Old Trafford despite tempting links to La Liga giants Barcelona and Real

The 18-year-old has been involved in a tug-of-war between the Red Devils and Chelsea for his services but is contractually tied to United despite expressing a desire to play for Chelsea.

"We have an agreement with Lyn, have followed John Obi Mikel for three years and still want him to come to Manchester United," said Ferguson, who was present in Oslo recently.

Lyn also confirmed their Sporting Director Morgen Anderson was in discussion with the Scotsman, but wouldn't comment further.
