Reading's England fullback Nicky Shorey admits he'd jump at the chance of joining one of the Premiership's Big Four.

Manchester United have been linked with Shorey, who said: "If a top-four team says 'we want you', you'd be lying if you said you did not want to go.

"You want to test yourself at the best, everyone does, but while I'm at Reading I'll continue to do my best."
