The former French international defender has been out of favour at United for the past 18 months or so and it is thought that he is almost certain to leave the club this summer.
Silvestre, 30, is to sign a four-year deal with Marseille in the coming days to end a nine year stay at Old Trafford. He has made over 250 appearances for the club scoring six goals in the process.
It will be sad to see Silvestre leave the Premier League but I feel he is making the right decision to leave now. Patrice Evra has firmly placed himself in the left-back role at United and it would be highly unlikely that Silvestre could get back in the first team.
