Manchester United target Michael Essien has dropped a massive hint on where he might move this summer, by stating that he would be happy to move to England.

Fergusson sees him as a long time replacement for Roy Keane and the Ghanaian international in an interview with Four Four Two, has hinted that it’s a role he would be happy to fill:

"It was wonderful to play at Old Trafford.”

"They are one of the biggest clubs in Europe so of course I was happy to play there, but no, I wasn't think about my future during the game.

"I get on the pitch and only think about football.

"In England the game is based on physical strength and that's what I like.

"I think I can adapt well, I think I have the qualities to play there and I already speak the language.

"It will be easier for me than when I arrived in France.

"I'll be happy in England."
