Jose Mourinho eyeing ex Arsenal and Chelsea man for Manchester United

Jose Mourinho will reportedly attempt to sign former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Lassana Diarra if he takes over at Manchester United.

Louis van Gaal is tipped to leave Old Trafford in the summer and the Special One is the hot favourite to fill his seat in the dugout.

Mourinho worked with Diarra, now 31, at Real Madrid, and is keen on a reunion, according to French publication Le10Sport.

Diarra is currently playing for Ligue 1 outfit Marseille.

As well as spells with the Gunners and Blues, Frenchman Diarra also represented Portsmouth during his previous stint in the Premier League.
