Manchester United striker Mame Biram Diouf is in talks to join Hannover on loan, according to the German club.

The Bundesliga side have long been linked with a move for the Senegalese striker, who has scored seven goals in six outings for United's reserves this season.

"There have been discussions with his agent. We have shared our thoughts. I am now waiting for a response," Hannover sporting director Jorg Schmadke told Bild. "He is fast, robust, and direct."

Diouf spent last season on loan with Blackburn Rovers.
