A report in the Daily Mail this morning claims that Thierry Henry will snub interest from Manchester City and join MLS side the New York Red Bulls after the 2010 World Cup.

Joe Bernstein writes: "Henry fancies a new challenge to end his illustrious career and MLS side New York Red Bulls are strongly tipped to be his destination, with the 32-year-old Barcelona star excited at the prospect of living in another of the world's great cities."

Bernstein adds: "Barca are interested in offering the Frenchman as bait to land Manchester City's £34million Brazilian Robinho but again the answer from Henry is 'Non' because of his American dream."

Henry has played just five games for Barcelona so far this season as he struggles with injury. The French captain missed last night’s 0-0 draw with Valencia and has not played for the Primera Division champions since late September.

The former Arsenal legend played in both of France’s World Cup qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Austria last week, he scored a penalty in the second fixture. Henry’s Barcelona contract expires at the end of the 2010/2011 season.
