Man Utd pull out of shock move for Wigan Bosman Diame

Manchester United have pulled out of a shock move for Wigan Athletic midfielder Mohamed Diame.

The Daily Mail says United have pulled out of a move for Diame due to concerns over his heart condition.

Wigan became aware of the problem when Diame signed for £3million in 2009 and have always kept a defibrillator close to the touchline.

United are keen to sign a powerful central midfielder with Paul Pogba expected to leave Old Trafford for Juventus, but did not want to take a risk on Diame.

The Senegal international, 24, is out of contract this summer and is attracting interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Aston Villa.
