Ben Arfa is one step closer to Man Utd

RTL have confirmed for a meeting between the representatives from Manchester and the player. Marsille striker could join the Red Devils for the sum of 8 million pounds. The young player is in open conflict with his coach Didier Deschamps and his departure in the winter break seems granted.

Alex Ferguson is ready to take that risk as he is very satisfied by his acquisition Obertan, who actually couldn't fight for a place in Bordeaux regular squad. However if Man Utd manage to take the player, they will lend him until the end of the season to gain some experience in the Premier League. Everton and Birmingham are the clubs, mentioned by RTL.
