Lyon in Man Utd talks for Diarra-Ruud swap

Lyon are ready to discuss a swap involving Mahamadou Diarra and Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been to watch Mali international Diarra, who he sees as a long-term replacement for Roy Keane who left United by mutual consent last November.
The French champions are believed to want £25million for the 24-year-old, but club official Bernard Lacombe has indicated they may accept a cash-plus-player deal involving Van Nistelrooy.
"It is sure Lyon are interested in Van Nistelrooy," Lacombe told the Daily Star.
"For the moment we have not officially negotiated with Manchester. It will be a complicated financial deal unless we can exchange one of our players they are interested in, like Diarra."
Looks like there's something there; reckon he must have said something off camera and they were trying to get him to say something on cameraWushuMaster said:Taking some hope from Wrighty talking about SWP on the telly at the moment. I think he would be great for us. Dunno how Chelsea would be about letting him go though.
