Reports claim that Manchester United will send out scout Martin Ferguson to Olympiakos' Champions League match with Lyon on November 1. Ruud van Nistelrooy has reiterated his intentions to stay at Old Trafford despite tempting links to La Liga giants Barcelona and Real


Sir Alex Ferguson is rumoured to be keeping tabs on players from both teams, including Gnegneri Yaya Toure from Olympiakos and Mahamadou Diarra, Juninho Pernambucano and Florent Malouda from Lyon.

Yaya Toure, the brother of Arsenal's Kolo Toure, has done an admirable job in the Greek side's midfield and has caught the eye of scouts from other clubs, as well as United.

Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson has been keeping tabs on Lyon's Mahamadou Diarra, Juninho Pernambucano and Florent Malouda for a few months as he continues to re-vamp the midfield.
