Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is still attracting interest from Manchester City amid increasing speculation linking the French star with a move to MLS side New York Red Bulls, according to Sport.

It is understood Henry has always harboured desires of playing in the United States with reports earlier this season suggesting that he may make the switch after the World Cup next summer.

Former France international Youri Djorkaeff, who played for the New York outfit, has admitted that he has spoken to several French footballers about playing in the US, but wouldn't be drawn on whether or not Henry was one of them instead saying he spoke to "several players".

"I have spoken with many French players who have shown interest in coming to play in the United States. They prefer to do it in a beautiful city like New York and, therefore, play for the Red Bulls," Djorkaeff said, according to Sport.

"I told them that to play in the United States they must first want to, because it's not easy playing here. And I know what I am saying because I have done two years but if you have a predisposition to succeed, you will succeed."
