Sir Alex Ferguson believes Samir Nasri has decided to leave Arsenal, but the France midfielder will not be joining Manchester United.
Nasri, 24, has one year left on his contract and is reportedly reluctant to sign a new deal with the north London club.
He had been linked with a move to join English Premier League champions United, but Ferguson – speaking on arrival at his team’s pre-season tour of the USA – indicated that Nasri would not be arriving at Old Trafford.
“I don’t think he is coming to United,” Ferguson said.
“That is all I can tell you. I think that he has agreed to go somewhere else.”
Nasri has also been the subject of speculation linking him with a move to Manchester City.
Another possibility is that Wenger may opt not to sell Nasri, allowing him to leave for nothing when his contract expires at the end of the 2011/12 campaign.
If so, they would receive no return on a player who cost a reported fee of 12 million pounds in July 2008.
Ferguson agreed that it was a course of action open to Wenger, but said it would be unlikely to please the Arsenal hierarchy.
“That is his decision,” Ferguson.
“He is the manager. If he stands by that decision, it is a brave one.”
“I don’t know if the (Arsenal) directors will enjoy that one, but it is possible. Maybe he (Nasri) will have to stay.”

"I'm hearing reports that Samir Nasri's representatives has indeed agreed a deal enabling him to join #mufc," Morrison revealed via Twitter earlier today.
Nasri is belived to be unsettled at the Emirates given the way the Gunners have failed to challenge meaningfully for the top honours over the last couple of season.
He well knows that he has a much better chance of landing silverware with United and Old tgrafford ace Patrice Evra has urged him to move to the Theatre of Dreams.
The French international has refused to speak to Arsenal about a new contract and has told the club that he wants new players to arrive in the summer.
Nasri also told French television station TF1 that he would consider an approach from Sir Alex Ferguson.
He said: “Do I want to go to United? We should see if their interest is real and if it is concrete first."

United step up Nasri pursuit
Sir Alex Ferguson determined to land Arsenal schemer
Skysports.com understands Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.
Speculation has intimated Nasri is on United's radar and skysports.com has now learnt he is the club's top target.
The talented French schemer's reluctance to engage in contract talks with Arsenal until he is satisfied their transfer targets are of the required standard to mount a title push next season has alerted Sir Alex Ferguson to his possible availability.
Despite being close to wrapping up a deal for Blackburn defender Phil Jones and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David de Gea, amid widespread speculation Aston Villa's Ashley Young is also heading for Old Trafford, Ferguson's appetite for new signings has yet to be sated.
Nasri is seen as an ideal replacement for the retired Paul Scholes, with the centre of the field an area United's management are keen to revamp with fresh talent.
Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder has been linked but Nasri, with just a season left on his existing deal, could be a more realistic deal to finance.
Arsene Wenger would be loath to lose one of key men, especially given Nasri's exit would likely lead to other members of his squad questioning their own futures.
However, United are now ready to test Arsenal's resolve to keep a player who has previously intimated he would be open to the prospect of moving to Manchester.

The French contingent at Arsenal could fall this summer. Samir Nasri, under contract until 2012, has still not extended. His future at the club is linked to that of Cesc Fabregas.

As for Sebastien Squillaci, he has not convinced since his arrival last summer and found himself fourth choice central defender. If he wants to return to game time, a departure is inevitable.
