Diouf: Blackburn now my priority, not Man Utd
Mame Biram Diouf is putting all his efforts into impressing Blackburn Rovers - not Manchester United.
The Senegal forward joined Rovers on a season-long loan from the Old Trafford club last month.
The 22-year-old has already made an impact at Ewood Park by hitting a hat-trick in a Carling Cup tie against Norwich and then scoring past Arsenal in the Barclays Premier League.
Diouf told the Lancashire Telegraph: "For me it's not about getting attention from United now. It's about working hard for the team I'm playing for.
"Now I'm playing for Blackburn so I have to give my best here.
"I will be focused on Blackburn now and we will see after."

Gosh, How i always liked to see him at OT...
SAF should only not sell him.. Even if it takes another 4 yrs in blackburn, let it be on loan... He is for sure a power house..
With him at our diposal, we dont have to search for "The next Drogba"...
this nigga on fire hope he keeps it up.
I wouldn't expect anything less of Diouf, he's a professional. He should be giving his all just like the other players on loan deals. He should obviously focus on doing well here to impress united.
