Earlier on Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that both Danny Welbeck and Mame Biram Diouf will be going out on loan this season.

Diouf needs some first team action in the Premier League, he’s unlikely to get that a Man United this season. This way he will gain the valuable experience that he needs.

Rovers player Morten Gamst Pedersen confirmed the signing on his blog earlier on this evening, Blackburn Rovers official website has now also confirmed the deal.

Pedersen wrote:
Mame Biram Diouf has come on loan to us from Manchester United something we are very excited over. I met him on the training field today and he seems like a very nice guy and hopefully he can strengthen our attack. Now I have not seen him play so many matches, but I saw him play a few times at Molde last year and a couple of times for Manchester United. He impressed me then and I hope he will continue to impress us here in Blackburn. Mame welcome to the club, and remember to show up in the box and I will do everything I can to find you there. And a tip for you, if you get hold of the ball .. just hammer it in the net!

Diouf Granted Permit

Man United have confirmed that Mame Biram Diouf will be able to join Man United in January. The striker signed with United during the summer from Molde and has since been playing on loan at Molde.

Diouf has impressed during training and has now been granted a working permit so he is able to play for Man United.

Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said earlier this month: "If you’re talking about value then you can look at our young boy Diouf.
"He’s been training with us and is looking very exciting. That’s the kind of situation we’re good at – finding young players who can develop at the club and at 22 years of age he’s looking very good.”

SOCCER 2008: Bordeaux Beats Toulouse 2-1Finally, we have some good injury news. Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that United’s new signing Gabriel Obertan should be ready to make his debut in six weeks.


The winger joined Man United this summer for £3 million but it was immediately announced that he had an injury.


Sir Alex said:
"Gabriel has had a spine problem but I think he'll be back in about a month to six weeks' time.
"We're taking our time with him because we want him back and at 100 per cent."
"He's very quick, he can play both sides or through the middle and he brings a real versatility to us.
"At 16 he was one of the outstanding young talents in Europe.
"He said to us that over this last year and a half he's been playing with this back injury and no-one thought about getting a scan.
"We expect big things from him. He's a nice boy, speaks good English and should have no problem settling in."


Sir Alex has also spoken about new signing Mame Biram Diouf who was bought from Molde but sent straight back to them on loan.


"Diouf will stay there until January.
"We'll then make a decision over whether to apply for a work permit for him or leave him there for the full season.
"He's a powerful boy, quick as hell, good in the air, 21 years of age and he's done very well at Molde.
"Playing in Norway is similar to playing here in terms of climate, so we've not got an issue with that either.”


Finally, there was a little bit of news on Serbian youngster Adem Ljajic, who has also returned on loan to his old side Partizan Belgrade.


Fergie said: "He's doing very well.
"He was the star of the tournament for Serbia at the UEFA Under-19 Championship over the summer."

Who Is Mame Biram Diouf?


Manchester United have announced that they have agreed terms with Mame Biram Diouf, but who is he?


Diouf is 21-years-old and he is a striker. He currently plays for Molde F.K.


Diouf was born on the 16th December 1987 and he is a Senegalese footballer.


Diouf started off his career in 2004 with ASC Diaraf, in 2007 he joined Molde F.K and in 2009 he has joined Manchester United.


Diouf has made 62 appearances for Molde, scoring 30 goals. Not a bad record.


Man United are looking to sign him this summer, they will then loan him back to Molde and Diouf will come to Man United in January.

New Signing For Man United

Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson did say that he won't be spending anymore money this season but that is not the case. Man United have confirmed that we have bought a new player.

A statement on ManUtd.com says, "Manchester United and Molde F.K are pleased to announce that they have agreed terms for the transfer of Mame Biram Diouf.

"Diouf is to attend a medical in Manchester next week with a view to joining the club in January. Until that time he will remain with Molde F.K. on loan."



Sir Alex Ferguson, "We weren't intending on signing anyone else after last week - we feel we have a full squad - but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids.

"So we had to decide whether we acted or didn't. We decided to act and he'll be last person we sign."
