Offer submitted for Lassana Diarra?

I know Mourinho was a fan at Chelsea and Madrid. Perhaps a player for certain big games and a cheaper alternative to Kante? If this happened it would suggest to me that Jose is happy with Schneiderlin and Carrick for the deeper role generally but in the big games may need more bite.

{Ed002's Note - As of Wednesday there was one offer but not from MU.}

It's being reported that Giggs is set to leave Man Utd.
In my eye, s he ain't done bad out of it . Usually when managers are sacked, so are their back room staff.
Moyes sacked, Giggs not
Van Gaal sacked, Giggs not.
Fantastic servant to our club, and will always be a legend in my eye, s.
But he cannot dictate which job he wants, if not offered the managers job . There are many ex players from man Utd with better credentials to become great managers, Time for Giggs to go and make a managerial name for himself, Then one day maybe. He maybe approached for the big job . But I feel the reason he was not shown the door along with Moyes and Van Gaal, is the sentiment our board have for the man. Plus now he can concentrate on his other pastimes. wink. wink.

Is Kante still only of Interest to Arsenal and Chelsea Ed, if you don't mind me asking?

{Ed002's Note - Leicester's N'Golo Kante performances this season have attracted the attention of a number of sides not least Juventus, Chelsea, PSG and Arsenal. Although they will offer a new contract and would like to keep him, Leicester will be willing to sell on a couple of conditions and it will be Arsenal and Chelsea who will look to see if a deal can be brokered early in the transfer window - but it will be PSG that will be the most attractive of these clubs for the player and if they put an offer on the table that is acceptable to the club - and then they will have an advantage. Last summer Kante was on the verge of joining Marseille after rejecting the interest of West Ham and Rennes when Claudio Ranieri intervened, telling Caen their price would be met and taking the player on a guided tour of the Leicester City ground and training facilities. Anecdotally Shakhtar Donetsk approached Boulogne about taking Kante as a replacement for Fernandinho but Kante decided his future was in the French second division with Caen. Chelsea's interest dates from April 10 and they continued to watch him. His representative has said that Chelsea and PSG are his favoured destinations but with the change of manager at PSG that option may disappear.}

And Kantes valuation wouldn't be anything much higher then the 30M, would you want to go for some one cheaper IF Kantes available?
