According to sources in France, contact has been made between the clubs over the availability of Ben Arfa, 22, who has struggled to gain a regular place in Marseille's first team.
Ben Arfa would be the kind of value-for-money signing Fergie is seeking in an inflated transfer market.
The player's agent Jean-Jacques Bertrand said: "For now, we have not established contact with any club. But do not rule out a move. Maybe OM have had contact with interested clubs."
United have been delighted with the successful capture of Bordeaux youngster Gabriel Obertan and think Ben Arfa could be just as effective.
Ben Arfa was expected to move to England when leaving Lyon, after attracting interest from Arsenal, but ended up at the Stade Velodrome instead.
Olympiacos are believed to have already registered their interest in the wide man.
ben arfa is good, but united need to many wingers? already got valencia, nani, park, obertan, tosic?

they need more winger to play in the defence wat ... u forgot ar??
go get that RB from bayern then. he can play at RB, LB and also winger. more versatile isnt he.
bye nani, bye tosic
Is SAF going to be another Ah Ben???
oh you remembered the likes of veron, bellion, howard, kleberson, forlan, taibi, bosnich, miller, carroll eh lol.
first nani sucks, and to spent about 5 million for a replacement for giggsy, well i think its a good deal. nani will be selling list soon; he has failed to play time and time out again.
well, at least he needs to get some defenders like evra and vidic to replace gary. rafeal can only play wing back not a solid right back.
Nani is gd.I hope he stays on...jus recall the goals and assists he provided during the 1st season...He has potential but somehow his & anderson's development has somehow stalled...the coaching team has to do something.
He's been not playing and its no secret that its due to his comments on fergie's men management style..jus hope fergie realise that the team needs him more than he having the need to discipline and teaching nani a lesson on 2..seriously.
