Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra is again being linked with Manchester United.
Madrid sources say Real's capture of Stuttgart midfielder Sami Khedira has pushed Diarra closer to the exit door.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder wants regular first team football and is concerned he is being squeezed out at Real.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a big fan of Diarra and could move for the France international with Owen Hargreaves now struggling to make his 25-man Premier League squad list due to injury.
