Despite maintaining he wants to remain at The Reebok Stadium,
Nicolas Anelka will hold talks with Bolton Wanderers after conceding that Manchester United would be hard to turn down.
The former Arsenal and Manchester City striker is reportedly a potential target for Sir Alex Ferguson as the Scot looks to continue the summer recruitment drive that has already seen United spend in the region of £50million.
Anelka could be a like-for-like replacement for his injury-prone compatriot Louis Saha, but Trotters boss Sammy Lee has moved to underline that the club are not looking to sell the player who cost them £8million from Fenerbahce last summer.
Whilst insisting he is not seeking a move from Bolton after scoring 11 goals upon his return to the Premiership, Anelka admits his future is currently 'up in the air' with United hovering.
"First of all, I have to find out if Bolton want to sell me or not," said Anelka at the France team's headquarters in Clairefontaine.
"I don't want to leave. I have to sit down and talk with Bolton to find out what they have planned for me.
"For the moment, it's all up in the air. But I'm sure we will be talking more soon."
When questioned directly about whether a move to Old Trafford would appeal, Anelka replied: "You (the media) know where I want to go, so.... You can't say no to Manchester.
"It's always the same four big clubs who are dominating English football. With Bolton, either we stun them all or we finish fifth or sixth.
"So yes, I want to play with one of these big four clubs, but I also want to try and help Bolton become one of the big Premiership clubs."
The talented striker - who scored in France's Euro 2008 qualifying win against Ukraine on Saturday - has also played for Liverpool, Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid in a career that has seen him frequently change employers.
