Manchester United player Eric Djemba-Djemba, could be on his way to Benfica if the Portuguese club get their way. They have made an inquiry as to the chances of taking the Cameroon international on loan until the end of the season.

Man Utd have also received interest from PSG. But both sides may struggle to land the player unless they are willing to offer Manchester United something more permanent, with Sir Alex believed to be against a loan move.

This however while it may put off PSG, is not thought to present as big of a stumbling block to Benfica, who are keen to land the player, who has failed to do himself justice at Old Trafford, more permanently. Although it is thought at this time that any long-term deal will probably have to wait until the summer.
