Are you sure, Fergie? Man United want £6m for flop Diouf

Manchester United have slapped a hefty £6million price tag on striker Mame Biram Diouf.

Diouf spent last season on loan at Blackburn but after a stunning hat-trick on his Carling Cup debut he managed just three goals for the rest of the campaign.

The 23-year-old went on United's pre-season tour of America, but Sir Alex Ferguson is prepared to cash in on the striker they paid Molde £3.75m for in 2009.

Off target: Diouf has played in just six competitive games for Man United 

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is interested in making a move for Diouf, but will not be able to match United's asking price.

Blackburn, Everton and Fulham are said to be monitoring the situation.
