Mourinho ready to offer Man Utd outcast in swap deal to sign former Chelsea player

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is interested in signing the Marseille midfielder Lassana Diarra during the January transfer window.

Diarra has played in the Premier League with Arsenal and Chelsea before and the French defensive midfielder will know exactly what is needed of him if United can agree on a deal to sign him. The 31-year-old has played for Real Madrid when Jose Mourinho was managing Los Blancos and therefore the duo will be well aware of each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
