Diarra boost for Reds
UNITED'S chances of landing midfield ace Mahamadou Diarra have been boosted by reports suggesting that Real Madrid have pulled out of the race to sign him.
Strengthening the Reds' midfield is the top priority for Sir Alex Ferguson this season, and the 24-year-old Lyon dynamo would be the perfect fit for United.
The Ligue 1 side have already slapped a minimum £25million price tag on Diarra, who has been a mainstay in Lyon's championship-winning side and still has three years left on his contract.
Real were thought to be interested, but the club's director of football Benito Floro told the Sun: "Diarra is a good footballer, but he is not of the level of Sergio Ramos, nor that of Javi Garcia."
買佢既成數又大左...
Reds boss Sir Alex has praised Alan Smith’s “amazing approach” to his recovery from the broken leg that ended his season, and revealed he has set a September target for his return to action.
The 25-year-old Yorkshireman suffered an horrific double injury against Liverpool in February, dislocating his ankle and breaking his leg.
He is now without the protective cast and even attempted light jogging at United’s Carrington training ground last week.
”Alan may be a bit late for the start of the season,” Sir Alex told Manchester United Radio. “I would think he will be back towards the beginning of September.
”He’s still got a bit of a limp. But he was out on the training ground last week walking around and went for a little jog."
Smith, who is admired by United's fans for his feisty determination on the pitch, is showing a similar attitude to his rehabilitation.
”He’s got an amazing philosophy and approach to his recovery," added Sir Alex. "It doesn’t bother him at all. There is no mental block there at all. He will be back all right.”
